Booker T, whose real name is Booker T. Huffman, retired from the ring earlier this year. He has served as an announcer and analyst for the company, most recently as part of the pre-show for pay-per-view events. Trained by Ivan Putski, he made his debut in the ring in 1989 and was active over four decades.

Booker T is best known for his time in World Championship Wrestling (WCW), the World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment (WWF/E), and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), holding 35 championships between his stints at the three organizations. He is a six-time world champion – five in WCW and once in the WWF and he carried the WCW World Title when the company was absorbed by the WWE.

Booker T was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on April 6, 2013.
