Booker T Addresses Rumours Of Long-Standing Beef With Batista

WWE

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has addressed rumours that he has long standing beef with Dave Bautista.

Booker and Batista infamously were involved in a backstage fight back in 2006, which sparked rumours that the two men had issues with each other.

Addressing the altercation on his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker said that, though neither man has addressed the incident much in the media, he has no beef with Batista, and it was simply ‘something that happened’.

He said:

“If I saw Bautista today, I would give him a hug and tell him how great he’s doing in Hollywood. He’s knocking it out. He’s freakin’ killing it.

“It was an incident that happened between two men, and if you’re a man, you know something about that. If you’re a man who’s got testosterone running through your body and you’re in a testosterone-driven business, you might get in a fight with somebody. That doesn’t mean you hate them. Don’t mean you don’t like them. It was an incident that happened.”

Booker then went on to tell a story of himself and Eddie Guerrero getting involved in a backstage fight despite being good friends.

Batista has recently spoken about how he is hoping to get inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in Hollywood this year.

Booker T is currently a member of the NXT announce team, with him reportedly set to remain in the role long-term despite being brought in temporarily.

Booker also made a cameo appearance in this year’s Royal Rumble match.
