WWE Hall of Famer not ‘totally’ retired, comments on potential Trick Williams feud
Trick Williams might already have his WrestleMania 43 feud streamlined amid his current WWE run.
On the latest edition of Reality of Wrestling Podcast with Brad Gilmore, Booker T addressed Triple H’s social media post. Booker T met Triple H backstage at a WWE event teasing for him to put him in the ring. Triple H posted the brief interaction on X and captioned it ‘whenever you’re ready’. Booker T responded that he does not consider himself completely retired and is open to one last match. He name-dropped Williams as a possible opponent and praised his current WWE run.
“Never say never, bro. I’m not going to put myself totally in the retirement category just yet. Yeah, 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 perhaps do something with Trick Williams. You never know. So, I don’t want to take that off table or anything like that. Anything’s possible.”
Gilmore floated the idea of a career vs. title match against Williams at WrestleMania 43 envisioning a scenario where he’s the United States Champion.
“Yeah, I would think about it without any shadow of a doubt. I don’t even have to think about it. It would be something that perhaps can be done very, very quickly. To have a chance to do something like that would be the way, a cool way to walk out. He got hell of a payday. At the same time, doing something with somebody that I really, really love what they’re doing as far as what Trick Williams doing right now. Of course, I would do it but I would definitely have to get myself ready for something like that. It’ll have to be next year. Of course, next year. Mania. Yeah, I could do that. Yeah, I can do that.”
Booker T took over NXT commentary duties since 2022 alongside Vic Joseph. He has also crossed paths with a few talents on the brand backstage and hyped their in-ring capabilities. He competed in the 2023 Royal Rumble as a surprise entrant which was later revealed to be his last match. He did however participate in a Street Justice Rules Gauntlet match in his own promotion, Reality of Wrestling in 2025.
Williams was affiliated with NXT for four years before transitioning to SmackDown. Next weekend he collides with Sami Zayn for the United States Championship in his first-ever WrestleMania match.
