“Hey…nothing you can say. Nothing’s gonna change what you’ve done to me,” he wrote.

WWE Hall of Famer reacts to Randy Orton getting a title shot at WrestleMania

Wrestling legend Booker T recently shared why he thought it was important for Randy Orton to be in a prominent position heading into WrestleMania 42.

Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T stated that it was good for The Apex Predator to be in the main event scene because it is unknown how much longer he can perform at that level. The legend added that Orton needed to be managed properly to get the most out of the rest of his career.

“I think it’s good for Randy to be in that picture just because Randy’s not going to be able to be in that picture for many more years. And me as promoter, I definitely got to take notice of that, and I got to be able to use this thing properly as far as how much time do I really have with Randy Orton? So, I got to really be able to manage that thing properly,” Booker T said.

It will be interesting to see who is revealed to be the person calling Orton on the road to WWE WrestleMania 42.
