A WWE Hall of Famer has detailed their new role with the company and how it came together.

Last week, WWE announced major changes to their commentary teams for Raw, SmackDown and NXT.

The developmental brand will now have Vic Joseph and two-time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T as the commentary team for the program.

Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, the former six-time WWE World Champion discussed his new role and how it came together.

He said:

“You got to always stay ready just so you don’t have to get ready.”

Booker T added that he would like to thank everyone involved with getting the new role and singled out Michael Cole for his hand in putting this together.

He said:

“If it wasn’t for him none of this would be possible, and that’s Michael Cole, man. Michael Cole has been my guy for quite some time, man. He’s been in my corner. So I just want to thank Michael Cole for making this all happen.”

The two-time WWE Hall of Famer continued on to note how he will approach the commentary desk on NXT, saying:

“I’m not a commentator. I will be coming in as an analyst, critiquing these guys trying to see where the money actually really is. Who may be the next-level NXT superstar and the quality that they bring to the table.”

Booker T finally concluded by stating that he will also be working with talent backstage on the brand, saying:

“I will be an advisor in certain aspects of guys. I’m all about trying to show these young guys what it takes to work at the top of the card.”

NXT brand recently underwent some changes to their logo and set following evolving beyond the 2.0 rebrand.
