WWE NXT commentator Booker T has explained why he wasn’t at the 30th anniversary special episode of WWE Raw.
A number of familiar faces made appearances on the January 23 show, including Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, and D-Generation X.
On his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T revealed that his busy schedule kept him from appearing on the show.
Discussing his other projects, Booker T said:
“I was going from Houston to Orlando. I had to get ready for ‘NXT.’ That’s the reason I couldn’t be there — I was just coming off of filming a wrap-up on WWE Treasures in Connecticut.
“So, I was really busy. I just didn’t have a lot of time. I wanted to be there; you know what I mean? Like I said, I had a party set up.
“Me and Ric Flair, me and The Nature Boy, we were going to stay up all night and stay a little longer, but we didn’t get a chance to do that just because I was busy.”
The Hall of Famer made his WWE in-ring return in this year’s Royal Rumble match. Was eliminated by GUNTHER after just 42 seconds in the bout.
