WWE Hall of Famer and NXT commentator Booker T has ruled out the possibility of managing top WWE stars Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill.
Booker T is considered one of the most decorated stars in pro wrestling history as a former six-time WWE and WCW World Champion as well as multiple runs as tag team champion in the Harlem Heat.
However, the former WCW star has also made an impact on the industry as the trainer at Reality of Wrestling where he has helped various stars, including current NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez.
Some fans have suggested the idea of Booker T making a transition to be a manager for the current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill as a new version of the Harlem Heat.
On a recent edition of his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T explained his stance on becoming a manager. Stating that he doesn’t want to be on the road anymore, he said:
“I love the idea, man. But I don’t want to be managing nobody, I really don’t.”
“I love Bianca and Jade, and both of them wearing that fire red [gear] definitely made me feel something special about my time with Harlem Heat.”
“Just watching those two, man, they’re a very dynamic duo. But no, I don’t want to “manage anybody. I love watching it from an outside perspective.”
“I like being able to watch it. I don’t want to be on the road, I don’t want to travel going from city to city. I don’t want to do that anymore, I really don’t. I’m happy, I’m content, just doing NXT and being part of the NXT crew.”
Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair are currently competing in the Queen of the Ring tournament. Cargill will face Nia Jax, while Belair will face Tiffany Stratton in the tournament semifinals on this Friday’s May 16 edition of SmackDown.
