Major Backstage Update: Booker T's WWE Contract

As reported earlier, Booker T has arrived to Boston, Massachusetts for tonight's Royal Rumble pay-per-view. He is expected to participate in the 40-Man Royal Rumble Match. His return to WWE after three years will not be a one night affair.

According to some wrestlers, Booker T is permanently returning to WWE to both wrestle and announce. Additional details, however, have not been disclosed.

The six-time world champion has had his sights set on a commentating position for a number of years. He indicated in an interview last year during Royal Rumble season that if he were to return to WWE, it would likely be as an announcer.

He said, "Going back to the WWE, I know I would have to work a full schedule pretty much 180 days a year. I don't think that's something I want to do at this point. A lot of people speculate, but if I was to go back to the WWE, it would probably be from a wrestling announcer standpoint, that's something I always wanted to do. So I look forward if I ever go back to WWE, it would probably be from a wrestling announcer standpoint. TNA is better for me as far as scheduling goes, but I don't think I'll working that hectic schedule anymore."

Maybe they'll have Booker replace Micahel Cole?

We can only wish.

I would love to see Booker as an announcer.

unfortnatly know. since Cole somehow kissed Vinces ass sooo much after soo many years of gettin shit off him Cole is prolly the last guy to leave

if Booker does return to announce, it will only be if Cole is revealed as GM

MEM is screwed now.

that would be awesome if he replaced cole on sd.

Their announce squad might have a chance of redemption after all. Reminds me of his brother Stevie Ray when he was announcing in the last years of WCDub.

YAY! His always funny on the commentating boOth. I remember laughing my ass off when he was on commentary that time with JBL I think.
