DJ Vlad recently accused WWE Hall of Famer Booker T of lying, but Booker came prepared.
In a recent VladTV interview, Swerve Strickland criticized WWE Hall of Famer Booker T for saying he was treated fairly. Strickland referenced an incident where Vince McMahon used a racial slur in front of the former World Heavyweight Champion.
On his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T reacted to Swerve Strickland’s comments by revealing that they had already spoken in person. He emphasized that he confronted Strickland directly about the issue.
Booker emphasized that he rejected a VladTV interview, even after they offered him money, because he refused to be exploited. Furthermore, he expressed disappointment in Strickland, stressing that he had always supported him. He even praised him by calling him a future AEW World Champion.
Following this, Booker T stated that he never wanted to appear on VladTV. In response, DJ Vlad shared direct messages they had exchanged on X (formerly Twitter) and claimed Booker had agreed to an interview but missed it due to Vlad’s tardiness.
Vlad further escalated the situation by mentioning Booker’s association with Chasyn Rance, a convicted sex offender, and even posted a photo of them together.

Booker T responds
Booker then responded with DM screenshots of his own, which show that Booker turned down the interview opportunity.
The two-time WWE Hall of Famer also reacted to the photo of Chasyn Rance that Vlad mentioned in his posts. A recent photo of Booker, Rance and some trainees made its way online recently, which gained attention due to Rance’s crimes against minors and Booker’s apparent lack of knowledge about Rance’s being a registered sex offender. Booker issued a statement explaining the apparent link between the two, which you can read here.
