Booker T addresses his status as a color commentator for the WWE NXT brand

With WWE NXT announcer Wade Barrett filing in for Pat McAfee on WWE Smackdown commentary during the college football season, Booker T was initially brought in as a temporary replacement for Barrett. However, it appears that Booker T has a full-time spot on the NXT commentary team as he noted the following during his podcast…

“It was only supposed to be until the end of December,” Booker said. “Wade Barrett is gone and forgotten as you can see (he laughs). That’s my job now. That’s my job. I’m full-time now. I’m full-time on NXT. I’m gonna be in your ear every Tuesday night. Wade Barrett, I don’t know if they’re going to keep him on, find a spot for him on RAW or SmackDown, but his ass isn’t coming back to NXT. Booker T stole that spot. I told you guys I was going to steal it. I’m like Tom Brady. Once I get in the game, I ain’t coming out. The thing is, it wasn’t something I was expecting or anything like that, but I’m excited about it. I’m excited about this new venture.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
