Royal Rumble 2023 is scheduled for late January and WWE Universe can’t wait to experience this exciting event. This is one of those nights where surprises remain a key aspect and you never know who will show up during the main event Rumble matches. It turns out that fans might just see a familiar face in the multi-superstar match in action after a long time.

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T is helmed as one of the all-time greats due to his career accomplishments in or out of the WWE. During his time in WCW, he won 21 championships. Even after coming to the WWE, he managed to win the World Title to solidify his legacy. He recently stated that if Triple H and WWE invite him to Royal Rumble 2023, he will definitely compete.

Booker T in shape for Rumble appearance

Booker T has been seen on a regular basis on WWE TV due to his NXT commentary stint. But only a few know might know that he still competes in the ring for his own wrestling promotion. Fueling up a Royal Rumble 2023 appearance, he competed for the ROW Tag Team Championships on December 18th by teaming up with Mysterious Q against Warren Johnson and Zack Mason.

Booker yet to be contacted by WWE for Royal Rumble 2023 appearance

Then while speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T made it clear that he doesn’t rule out competing in the Royal Rumble 2023 match. It was noted that WWE is yet to contact him about a potential appearance in that match but if the opportunity arrives then he’s ready to take it,

“I will be very honest right now, I will definitely be checking the mail every day all the way up until that date because if I get the invitation, I will for sure, you know, execute it, definitely going to be, you know, be there. I’m gonna be in the middle of that ring.

I’m gonna be prepared to be in the middle of that ring if that happens. But now, I mean nobody’s talked to me or anything like that about being in the Rumble. There again I don’t have any itch to scratch or anything like that but hey man I’m always down.”

Booker T’s Royal Rumble 2023 appearance is most likely to happen in a surprise capacity if it happens, at all. Prior to this at the 2011 edition of this same match, he made his WWE return after a few years and since then, he managed to stick around with the company.

Royal Rumble 2023 takes place Saturday, January 28 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas which is the home state of Booker, and hence his excitement to possibly compete in the Rumble match is understandable.
