It looks like Booker has changed his tune.
Earlier this week, Bodyslam and other publications ran stories regarding Booker T’s comments on Sasha Banks possibly joining AEW now that her contract may be up. Now, it appears Booker has changed his opinion regarding WWE stars going to AEW.
While speaking on his Hall of Fame show, Booker T advised Paige to join AEW as she could be successful there.
“Yeah, I would advise Paige to join AEW. I’d really love to see Paige on a big stage. If she’s not going to be in WWE, definitely, I could see Paige doing some really, really good stuff there [in AEW]… People made my comment about Sasha big news just because I don’t look at Sasha the way I look at Paige… It’s just a matter of seeing something and what we can get out of this. That’d be big for AEW to have someone like Paige walk out of that curtain. Paige is a star, bona fide.”

It is a strange situation that Booker would believe Paige can be a star anywhere, but not Sasha Banks who has eclipsed Paige’s popularity and then some. What do you think? Is Booker T trying to backtrack following a week of negative reports? Let us know in the comment section and on our social media pages.
