Booker T Furthers Retirement Match Talk After Triple H Tease
Booker T is open to a retirement match with WWE.
The talk about a potential retirement match for the WCW Legend stirred up when Triple H posted a video showing the wrestling veteran joking about the same recently.
The 61-year-old was asked about this during the latest edition of his Hall of Fame podcast. Booker T first expressed a never say never attitude, mentioning that he hasn't put himself into the retirement category just yet:
"Never say never, bro. I’m not gonna put myself totally in the retirement category just yet. I don’t know. I might get the itch to want to have a retirement match, and go out there and do something with one of the young guys."
Booker T said that he would love to do something with a talent like Trick Williams. When his co-host suggested the idea of hosting the match at WrestleMania 43 in Saudi Arabia next year, the Hall of Famer seemed very excited at the possibility:
"Doing something with somebody that I really, really love what they’re doing as far as what Trick Williams is doing right now. Heck yeah, man…of course I would do it. But I would definitely have to get myself ready for something like that. It would have to be next year at ‘Mania. Yeah, I could do that."
The former World Champion has not wrestled a proper match under the WWE banner since 2012. Though he does enter the ring from time to time for his Reality of Wrestling promotion, having last done so in January 2025.
