TNA represenative Steven Godfrey gave the following quote to the PWInsider.com website in regards to Booker T’s status with TNA Wrestling following his surprise appearance in the main event match of last weekend’s TNA live event:
“Booker T is not affiliated with TNA Wrestling at this time. However, due to a mechanical issue, AJ Styles was unable to fly in for the TNA live event, and Booker made a surprise appearance in his place. TNA prides itself on creating the best live events in professional wrestling, and you never know what can happen when you attend TNA Live.”
