Booker T and Kevin Nash at the Royal Rumble

Partial Source: Pwinsider As we just noted moments ago here on the website, Booker T and Kevin Nash are scheduled to appear as surprise entrants for tomorrow night's 40-Man Royal Rumble Match.


As noted earlier, Booker T was expected earlier based on recent talks with organization officials and his scheduled appearance at the New Orleans Comic Con this weekend being canceled. Company sources confirmed this morning that he is set for the 40-Man Royal Rumble Match. He's en-route to Boston, MA as of this writing.


WWE sources have also confirmed that Nash is booked for the Rumble match and is scheduled to fly into Boston later today. He'll arrive at some point this evening. He was in discussions with TNA Wrestling officials as late as yesterday to finalize a contract with the organization, but instead opted to return to World Wrestling Entertainment.


Meanwhile, TNA Wrestling sources have confirmed that discussions with Nash fell through. Both sides had been negotiating on and off with sources indicating at one point that a deal was finalized. An infuriated Nash then accused TNA personnel of leaking the information, which led to new rounds of negotiations which did not go over so well. He admitted last week to a Puerto Rican newspaper that he was in talks with TNA regarding a return to the organization. The aforementioned discussions ended within the past 24 to 48 hours and he wound up agreeing to a deal with WWE. No word on how long the deal is for or if this has to do with the Hall of Fame as of this writing.

I'll believe it when I see it, but apparently contracts have been signed.

Nash is one thing, but I would really be surprised if hall or xpac would be invited in...they would probably be too drunk to make it...

I like this. WWE has plenty of cocky young guys. They actually need a veteran presence right now.

But please, for the love of humanity, don't bring in X-Pac, Hall, or Billy Gunn.

- According to correspondents, Booker T has landed at the site of tonight's Royal Rumble pay-per view.

- PWInsider is reporting that Christian was also brought in for tonight's event, however no word yet on what his role would be for the show, if any, but he was specifically brought in today for the show. For what it's worth, he isn't wearing his arm in a sling.

- Hacksaw Duggan will likely appear on the show as he has a non-WWE booking in the area and is expected at the show.





NoDQ.com > WWE > Backstage News On Former Champion Returning
Posted by Steve Carrier on 01/30/2011 at 03:23 AM

As reported earlier, Booker T has arrived to Boston, Massachusetts for tonight's Royal Rumble pay-per-view. He is expected to participate in the 40-Man Royal Rumble Match. His return to WWE after three years will not be a one night affair.

According to some wrestlers, Booker T is permanently returning to WWE to both wrestle and announce. Additional details, however, have not been disclosed.

The six-time world champion has had his sights set on a commentating position for a number of years. He indicated in an interview last year during Royal Rumble season that if he were to return to WWE, it would likely be as an announcer.

He said, "Going back to the WWE, I know I would have to work a full schedule pretty much 180 days a year. I don't think that's something I want to do at this point. A lot of people speculate, but if I was to go back to the WWE, it would probably be from a wrestling announcer standpoint, that's something I always wanted to do. So I look forward if I ever go back to WWE, it would probably be from a wrestling announcer standpoint. TNA is better for me as far as scheduling goes, but I don't think I'll working that hectic schedule anymore."
