Booker T’s time behind the NXT commentary table should have already ended according to the two-time WWE Hall of Famer.
Booker, who has previously commentated on RAW and SmackDown, joined the NXT team last October as part of changes to all three brands.
Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker claimed that his role with the gold brand was supposed to wrap up at the end of 2022.
“My thing is that that job was only supposed to be until the end of December. But, like I say, what’s that kid’s name that used to work there? [Wade Barrett] Yeah, yeah, Wade Barrett. He’s gone and forgotten as you can see [laughs.]”
Barrett was part of the NXT commentary team but was moved to SmackDown in October of last year.
The five-time former WWE Intercontinental Champion is replacing Pat McAfee, who is currently away due to his role with ESPN’s College GameDay.
