Speaking on his “Hall of Fame” podcast, Booker T reflected on his initial skepticism towards Wes Lee. He openly admitted that when he first arrived at NXT, Lee wasn’t on his radar at all. The Superstar’s style didn’t seem to align with Booker T’s expectations, leading him to perceive Lee as a one-dimensional performer focused on acrobatics.

In a complete turnaround, Booker T now sees Wes Lee as a versatile and remarkable talent. He highlighted the grit and determination that Lee brings to his matches, implying that the Superstar’s performances reflect a fighter’s spirit.

Booker T’s newfound admiration for Wes Lee doesn’t just stop at praising his current capabilities. When asked whether Lee has outgrown the NXT North American Championship, Booker T was thoughtful in his response. Despite Lee’s prowess, Booker T believes there’s still room for growth, considering the Superstar’s relatively young age.

For Booker T, Wes Lee and the North American Championship go hand in hand. He believes that the title holds significant importance in Lee’s journey and that he could solidify his legacy by remaining focused on the division.
