WWE Hall of Famer Booker T is set to make his in-ring return for his promotion Reality Of Wrestling. The former WCW world champion will team up with Gaspar Hernandez to take on Garza and Dexx. The match will take place at Canton, Texas, on January 22, 2022.
Booker T last wrestled in 2020 in a multi-man tag team match. The former world champion has kept busy with his own promotion and the Hall of Fame podcast over the years but continues to make appearances in WWE as well. He praised his protege Hernandez and said that he could one day be a mega star:
"This kid, he's a star on the rise. He's a diamond in the rough. We are going to polish him Harlem Heat style, teach him what it means to go out there and just beat the hell out of somebody, no frills. We ain't gonna go there and think about no 'spots', somebody jumping off something. Bring the pain, bring the pain, that's what we're going to be teaching this kid," said Booker T.
Booker T has kept himself in ring-ready shape and we hope that his return match is a spectacular one.
