RAW Superstar wants Booker T to come back for a 'dream match'

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T recently asked his Twitter followers to hit him with questions on WWE, UFC, or Boxing on WWE Backstage. RAW Superstar Shelton Benjamin responded to the tweet and asked Booker for a one-on-one match.

Booker T's illustrious career

Booker T was one of the biggest Superstars in WCW in the early 2000s. He won a total of five WCW World titles, which included a stint as WCW Champion in WWE. At WrestleMania 19, Booker T wrestled Triple H in a World title match but failed to bag the belt. It would be around three years before he would win the title. Soon after Booker T became King of the Ring in 2006, he won the World title from Rey Mysterio, now labeling himself as King Booker. He left WWE in 2007 and debuted in Impact Wrestling. Booker T came back to WWE in 2011 and participated in the Royal Rumble match. He later took on announcing duties on SmackDown. Presently, Booker T is the host of WWE Backstage on FS1, alongside former RAW announcer Renee Young. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013, and went in again earlier this year, as a part of Harlem Heat.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
