“I Could Be Next” – WWE Legend Asks TKO For One Thing Before Possible Firing

A WWE legend has one request for TKO if they decide to release him.

Several former WWE Superstars, including Carlito, Sonya Deville, and Dakota Kai, were let go in recent months as TKO reportedly seeks to reduce costs.

Ron Killings (R-Truth) also announced his departure days ago, only to return at Money in the Bank following a huge backlash from the WWE Universe and reportedly the WWE locker room.

While addressing Killings’ return on the Hall of Fame podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T disclosed that he is at peace with the idea that he could be next on the release list.

The current NXT color commentator disclosed that he has one request for TKO when it comes to that matter, which is to give him a heads-up before firing him.

When the TKO people came in, Endeavor and all those guys, this was my first thought process. These guys may not know me from Adam, okay, so let me be proactive and get ahead of this thing because I could be next on the chopping block.

The only thing I want to know is, guys, just give me a heads up. That’s it. Don’t think I didn’t talk to someone and say, ‘Hey guys.’ You know why? Because I understand, like so many out there perhaps do not, that this is a young man’s business.

It’s a young woman’s business. Somebody at my age, if they’re not thinking about a phone call coming at some point in time, they’re delusional. They’re not thinking properly.

Booker T thinks Ron Killings will become world champion after his WWE return

During the same episode of the Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T gave his predictions for Ron Killings’ future following his shocking return to the Stamford-based company.

The former 24/7 Champion dropped the R-Truth gimmick last night on RAW as he cut an emotional promo, which also saw him cut his hair.

The WWE Hall of Famer speculated that the 53-year-old veteran will win his first-ever World Heavyweight Championship in WWE.

He’s not R-Truth anymore. I like that too. We might see a totally different guy perhaps, almost like Mick Foley and Mankind and Dude Love.

Let’s see what Ron Killings brings to the table. I see Ron Killings winning the World Heavyweight Championship. That’s what I see. Put the title on him. How crazy would that be? It would the the biggest thing since, perhaps, putting the title on Mick Foley.
