Booker T spoke on his podcast “Hall Of Fame” about Nia Jax potentially calling it a career in pro wrestling. The WWE star had been on mental health break before being cut from the promotion.
The WWE received a lot of flack for the way it cut its talent over the last few weeks. Booker T made his thoughts on Nia Jax known.
“It’s a whole lot different I think for women than it is for men. Just think about it for a second. What do you remember Nia Jax being before she was ever in WWE? For her to actually have to go out and do other shows other than WWE, something that perhaps came to her and was an offer she probably couldn’t pass up, maybe something she didn’t even really want to do. Just think about that for a second. Sometimes when an opportunity comes and then you see what numbers are behind that opportunity, you say, ‘I’ll try this’, and it turns out to be a career for you for a period of time. But, who’s to say Nia Jax doesn’t want to do something else like have a family, have a regular life, and be able to breathe for a moment.
“I’m telling you, being on the road, it’s no party. Let me rephrase that. It can be a party all the time, but it’s not easy at all. If you’re the type that wants to do something else just for a moment, if you’re doing this, you can’t. If you’re on the road, you can’t. I can totally understand 100% where she’s coming from if she doesn’t want to do this. If she’s not going to do this for WWE, she’s probably like, ‘I don’t want to do this anymore’, so I totally understand.”
Booker T understands how tough life can be on the road with WWE. Nia Jax will have the choice to either return to pro wrestling or do what she wants in her personal life.
