Booker T backs Undertaker on TikTok, praises Hendry, open to a return

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T said he agrees with The Undertaker that wrestlers should avoid TikTok-style content, argued that social media has done more harm than good to the industry, defended up-and-coming performer Joe Hendry, and acknowledged a one-off return to main roster commentary after a misheard on-air remark sparked online outrage. The comments came in recent interviews and on his Hall of Fame podcast, following a guest appearance on SmackDown and his regular NXT commentary duties.

Booker said preserving the integrity of a character is critical, arguing that short-form social posts can undermine a performer’s mystique and earning potential. "Can you imagine if The Undertaker was The Phenom on pay-per-view on Saturday night, and then on Tuesday night, he was on TikTok as a chef?" he said, urging younger talent to "keep the character sacred." He framed social media as a double-edged sword, saying the exposure it provides can open doors, but that constant public scrutiny leaves performers vulnerable to harsh criticism. "I think it’s more negative than positive," Booker said, noting fans and commentators will quickly call out every mistake and belittle performers.
