Booker T Names Women's Wrestling Legend He Thinks Would Make For Perfect New NXT G.M.

Booker T talked all things WWE NXT General Managers on this week's episode of his "Hall Of Fame" podcast.

The WWE Hall of Fame legend spoke about not seeing Ava's departure coming, and how he thinks Saraya, formerly known as Paige, would make for the perfect new WWE NXT G.M.

The following are some of the highlights from the show where he discusses this topic.

On not seeing Ava's NXT departure coming: “It’s definitely out of the blue. It definitely got a lot of layers there that you could peel back and say, man, was it this? What is that? Or the other? But, I left work last week and I didn’t know anything about it. I didn’t hear any rumors, I didn’t feel any rumblings or anything like that as far as, hey man, maybe Ava’s gonna take a step back and move on into a different direction. But then again, this business is very, very unpredictable. It really is. You could be here today, and pretty much gone tomorrow. So, I get it, totally understand it. Just didn’t see this one coming. But, that’s the business. It’s a little clause, normally at the bottom page, and it says ‘card subject to change.’ At any moment. So, that’s the way I look at this.”

On how Saraya (Paige) would make for a good NXT General Manager: “You know what? What a hell of a return would that be? What a hell of a return would that be? That would be so awe-shocking, just because you’re not expecting it. It’s totally out of left field, and it’s someone I could see playing that role and playing that role very, very well… Great idea, great idea."
