WWE Hall of Famer Returning To NXT Brand Very Soon: "I'm About A Week Out"

Good news for fans of WWE NXT.

Some good news for WWE fans has arrived involving one Hall of Famer.

With WrestleMania season in full swing, there is plenty of excitement within the wrestling industry. Fans await to see how the drama unfolds between The Rock and The Bloodline, as well as whether or not Cody Rhodes will finish his story at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, PA.

It's not all rosy, however, as WWE SmackDown superstar Shotzi recently suffered a serious knee injury and figures to be on the shelf for a while. We wish her the best in her recovery, but there is some good news when it comes to another popular figure. Fans of WWE programming will witness a big return soon.

WWE NXT color commentator and wrestling legend Booker T has revealed on his "Hall of Fame Podcast" that he is roughly "a week out" from making his return to the desk. The five-time WCW Champion and former WWE World Heavyweight Champion had to undergo a medical procedure recently.

Booker previously told fans he had been feeling the effects of the procedure, but it seems he's doing far better now. The Hall of Famer even noted that he had a doctor's appointment to ensure he's in the clear.

If all goes well, we could see Booker T as soon as the February 27th episode of WWE NXT. It's important to mention that while a return for Booker next week is the hope, it hasn't been made official at this time.

Bryon Saxton has been filling in during Booker's time away, and he has reportedly received high marks from WWE officials.
