WWE’s Booker T Blasts Tony Khan’s Booking Of Current Champion

Booker T

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has taken yet another shot at AEW and the booking of one of Tony Khan’s current champions.

NXT announcer Booker T has never been shy when it comes to his thoughts on AEW despite Tony Khan’s company signing a multi-million new TV deal in recent months.

Despite that, TV ratings continue to be an issue for the company and speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T noted that dipping ratings could be a telltale sign that fans are confused as to who AEW’s big stars are:

Those ratings seem like they would be a telltale sign. But when you don’t know who [the AEW stars] are, who they’re working, why they’re working – it could be very, very confusing trying to watch that show.

Booker T Demands More For Athena In AEW

Booker T was also unhappy about Tony Khan’s use of ROH Women’s World Champion Athena. Booker T thinks she’s simply to good to not be featured more prominently in AEW:

I mean, she’s just as good or better than anybody on that damn roster, but you want to stick her in a box and put her in Ring of Honor?

Booker T will be part of a new WWE show that will search for the future stars of the company along with the likes of The Undertaker, Bully Ray, and Mickie James.
