Booker T Set to Face Zilla Fatu in January

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T is set to return to the ring on January 11, 2025, facing Zilla Fatu at the Reality of Wrestling (ROW) event. This match marks Booker T's first traditional wrestling appearance since July 2022, with his last appearance being a brief cameo at the Royal Rumble 2023. The confrontation between the two was sparked during the ROW Breakout event on December 29, where Fatu, the son of the late Umaga, accused Booker of turning from mentor to enemy. Despite a previous reconciliation in February 2024, tensions have escalated into a highly anticipated showdown. Fatu has been making a name for himself on the independent circuit, while Booker T continues his role as an NXT commentator and mentor at ROW. This match promises to be a significant moment for both competitors, with implications for Fatu's rising career and Booker's legacy.
