Booker T comments on cameras catching him “sleeping” during the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
On the latest episode of The Hall of Fame Podcast, NXT commentator Booker T addressed the accusations that he was sleeping during the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame.
“I want to let everybody know that the photo that’s circulating around — I was not asleep,” Booker T said. “I mean, you could tell my head was straight up. It wasn’t tilted to the left or right. It was down because it was a somber moment, and I was praying and really thinking about being in the moment.
“It’s one thing about situations like that, having that Hall of Fame speech and that Hall of Fame moment. Certain times it’s going to be laughter, but certain times you gotta really take it seriously about what’s being said. And at that point, I was definitely in tune. Let’s just say that I was in tune, but sleeping? No, I was not sleeping.”
While Booker T insists that he wasn’t sleeping, he did take the opportunity to throw RAW Superstar Logan Paul under the bus instead.
“Logan Paul was asleep. I’m gonna tell you that right now, Logan was out,” Booker T said. “But it was several people that were asleep, that were actually asleep. If they would have floor cameras, they would have noticed. They would have said. But no, it was a lot of [people].” [H/T: 411Mania]
To be fair to Logan Paul, Booker T, and the rest that he claims were sleeping at the event, this show did run past 4 AM ET. So, for those performers present who live on the East Coast, this was a brutally long event.
