Speaking on an appearance on the No-Contest Wrestling Podcast, Booker T claimed that he was better suited to NXT considering he was heavily filtered during his time on the main roster’s commentary team. He said:

“For me, I know what my job is. I wouldn’t necessarily say I wasn’t that good at it, but I didn’t get a chance to be myself when I was on Raw and SmackDown. I was filtered, they wanted me to act like a real commentator. I’m not like a real commentator, I’m just going to go out and analyze the thing. I’m not a heel, I’m not a babyface or anything like that, I’m just gonna go out and add color.”

Booker T has some advice for a WWE star

Nikkita Lyons is one of WWE’s brightest prospects, according to Booker T. However, she needs to be able to manage her talents better.

Speaking on a video posted by WWE, Booker T adviced Nikkita Lyons by saying:

“Nikkita has perhaps, you know, more talent than any woman in that locker room. She really does. But you know, she’s got that showbiz mentality. She wants to sing, she wants to dance, she wants to flirt. And there’s a time for all of that, but the timing has to be right,” he said.

He further added:

“I don’t know, I guess, a certain part of your character makes my eye roam this way when I should be looking this way, and it’s because of your s*x appeal, all right? You gotta be able to dial it back, all right? You gotta be able to dial it back for me. All right? I don’t want you to lose it. I don’t want you to lose it at all,” he added.

It remains to be seen how Nikkita Lyons progresses in WWE down the line.
