Booker T: 'If Rond Rousey Is Smart She'll Sign A Contract With AEW And Make Sure The Contract Is Only For 10 Days A Year'

Stamford, December 3 - Booker T believes Tony Khan, the CEO of AEW, is not worried about how much money he is spending on acquiring top talent. He believes that signing big names like Ronda Rousey is a notch on the belt and will bring more fans to the company. ## Rousey, who had previously retired from wrestling, is a smart businesswoman and will likely sign a contract that only requires her to work a few days a year. She understands that she can now pick and choose when she wants to work, and AEW is the perfect place for her to do that. ## While speaking on the latest episode of the Hall of Fame Podcast with wrestling legends Booker T and Brad Gilmore, Booker T made the following comment. ## "Tony Khan, he's not he's not worried about how much money he's spending, I really don't think so. I don't think Tony Khan is really concerned about how much money he's spending on getting these guys under that banner - I think he's I think he more so is happy you know having those guys around and seeing those guys as a part of AEW oh man that right there is a that's a that's a notch on the belt right there have you know snatching someone like Ronda Rousey from [WWE] just being able to say that come on yes -- if Rond Rousey uh is smart she'll sign a contract too and make sure the contract is only for 10 days a year." ## However, this should be noted that Ronda Rousey has clarified that she has no intentions of joining AEW, as indicated by the former UFC superstar herself. During an encounter with TMZ Sports in Los Angeles, the 36-year-old athlete addressed the speculations surrounding her potential move to All Elite Wrestling. ## When asked about the rumors of her signing with AEW, Rousey firmly stated, "No, no, I don't think so." She went on to emphasize that her current focus is on motherhood rather than engaging in wrestling matches inside the squared circle. This declaration from Rousey dismisses any notions of her immediate return to professional wrestling and provides insight into her current priorities. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Booker T Comments On CM Punk's Monday Night RAW Return; 'He Almost Got Choked Up A Little Bit'

Stamford, December 3 - After his unexpected comeback to WWE at Survivor Series last weekend, CM Punk made a return to Monday Night RAW on November 27th. ## In the main event segment of the show, Punk delivered a promo in the ring, declaring that he had found his home and undergone a transformation. Concluding the show, he addressed the camera, emphasizing that his return was driven by financial goals rather than forming new friendships.## Booker T, a WWE Hall of Famer and current NXT announcer, recently shared his thoughts on Punk's return promo during an episode of his Hall Of Fame podcast. He expressed his belief that the promo was sincere, shedding light on why Punk might feel that way upon his return to WWE.## "I said [his return promo in AEW] wasn’t the best promo I ever saw, it could have had more substance to it, and a lot of people gave me backlash because I said that, because I didn’t say ‘it was the greatest promo in the world. ## It was a pipebomb!’ In this promo on Monday night, it was a heartfelt promo, that’s what I think. At points in time, CM Punk got caught in the moment a little bit, he almost got choked up a little bit." ## Concerning his upcoming agenda, CM Punk is reportedly in discussions to vie for the World Heavyweight Championship against Seth Rollins at WWE Royal Rumble. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

WWE Hasn't Approached Steve Austin About Possibly Having A Match Against CM Punk In WWE

Stamford, December 2 - There are purportedly individuals within the WWE advocating for the potential of a "dream" match featuring CM Punk against "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, given Punk's recent return to the company.## Commenting on these speculations, Dave Meltzer from F4WOnline.com provided insights on Wrestling Observer Radio. Meltzer highlighted that, currently, there has been no approach to Austin. ## Meltzer emphasized that the obstacle isn't financial in securing Austin but revolves around whether he is inclined to undertake it at his current age and whether he can dedicate sufficient time to attain the necessary ring fitness. ## “As soon as that story came out, I heard from a bunch of people who were pretty close in, and they basically said that ‘we probably shouldn’t be worried about them doing that one,’ because it basically, you know it’s not anything that anyone’s talked about to any degree. I mean, it could happen, and it makes sense, but maybe you know. ## As of right now, Austin hasn’t been approached. He’s not in. I’m not saying he won’t be and that is not their direction. I’m not saying that’s like some people thought the same thing you did. ‘Hey, maybe we could do it’…..I would just say it’s premature. I wouldn’t say it’s never going to happen either.” ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Randy Orton Stays On Blue Brand; Officially Signs With WWE SmackDown On 12/1 SmackDown

Stamford, December 1 - Randy Orton has officially cemented his place on the blue brand. His much-anticipated return to WWE occurred at Survivor Series: WarGames on November 25, where he emerged as the fifth member of Cody Rhodes' team. ## Despite not being drafted in the 2023 draft, rendering him a free agent, Orton's allegiance has now been solidified on WWE SmackDown, as he inked the deal on December 1. The moment unfolded as Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis fervently vied for The Apex Predator's allegiance. ## Pearce, dangling the enticing offer of a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match, sought to secure Orton for his brand. Meanwhile, Aldis pledged The Bloodline's support in a bid to sway Orton. ## Adding to the drama, Paul Heyman entered the scene, delivering a captivating promo before Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa rushed in to assault Orton. A timely intervention by LA Knight shifted the momentum, leading to a victory for the babyfaces. Seizing the opportunity, Orton incapacitated Jimmy Uso with his signature draping DDT and RKO, creating a defining moment. ## With both contracts in hand, Orton, after a lingering stare at Paul Heyman, discarded the RAW contract, symbolically tossing it behind him. Instead, he opted to sign the SmackDown paperwork, doing so with a flourish over Jimmy Uso's prone body. As the Brooklyn crowd erupted in "RANDY" chants, Orton tossed the signed contract onto Jimmy before concluding the show with an additional RKO on Nick Aldis, cementing his presence on the blue brand. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
