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'

BY SACNILK

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...

Booker T Predicts One Of WWE’s Top Stars Will Leave Pro Wrestling Behind Within The Next Five Years

BY SACNILK

Booker T astutely predicts that one of WWE's esteemed luminaries will relinquish the world of professional wrestling within the next five years. ## Charlotte Flair, a luminous luminary who ascended rapidly within the company's ranks, soared as one of NXT's illustrious 'Four Horsewomen,' alongside the remarkable Becky Lynch, the talented Bayley, and the incomparable Sasha Banks, now known as NJPW's distinguished Mercedes Mone. ## These formidable women spearheaded the monumental Women's Revolution within the company upon their transition to the main roster in 2015. Amongst this quartet, Flair undeniably etched her name upon the annals of triumph, securing the Raw and SmackDown Women's Championships a staggering total of 14 times. ## Furthermore, she stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the likes of Lynch and Ronda Rousey, breaking down barriers and blazing trails as the pioneering women who headlined the grandeur of WrestleMania's 35th iteration. During a recent episode of his esteemed Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T engaged in a profound discussion regarding Flair's triumphs, alluding to her unswerving cognizance of being the irrefutable focal point of the spectacle. ## “She’s the star of the show. She knows it. Everybody else knows it. Fall in line. It’s the best thing going today. You don’t have to like it, but you better learn to love it … It’s only fitting.” ## “She’s the best at what she does, man. Wrestling is literally going to be something in her rearview mirror in the next five years, just because there’s so much more out there for her right now. And I think she knows that, too. I think she wants more. ## “This wrestling thing for Charlotte Flair has been a pit stop [or] a bump in the road. She got the world in the palm of her hand. She could do whatever she wants.” ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Booker T Calls For Inclusion Of Mid-Card Women's Championship In WWE

BY SACNILK

Booker T is advocating for the creation of an additional championship title specifically for female wrestlers within WWE. Despite the fact that women are given the opportunity to compete for the world championship of their respective brand, as well as for the tag team championship across both the main roster and NXT, there remains a notable absence of a mid-card title similar to the likes of the WWE United States Title, WWE Intercontinental Title, or NXT North American Title that is exclusively designated for women. ## Booker T's proposition highlights the importance of providing more opportunities and recognition for female wrestlers in WWE, which would further enhance the already impressive skill set and athleticism that these individuals possess. By introducing a mid-card title for women, WWE would not only showcase the incredible talent of these wrestlers but also solidify their status as a vital part of the industry. ## Ultimately, the creation of a new championship title for women in WWE would represent a significant step forward in the ongoing evolution of women's wrestling, which has made considerable strides in recent years towards achieving gender parity and recognition within the industry. ## "We should have a mid-card belt for the ladies, almost like a television championship where it’s not competing with the Women’s NXT Championship, just to give someone else a little bit of a rub, a little bit of shine, as well as a little bit of something to work for because it always gonna be a while before you work your way to that big goal," he told Fox News. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
