    As reported earlier, Booker T has arrived to Boston, Massachusetts for tonight's Royal Rumble pay-per-view. He is expected to participate in the 40-Man Royal Rumble Match. His return to WWE after three years will not be a one night affair.

    According to some wrestlers, Booker T is permanently returning to WWE to both wrestle and announce. Additional details, however, have not been disclosed.

    The six-time world champion has had his sights set on a commentating position for a number of years. He indicated in an interview last year during Royal Rumble season that if he were to return to WWE, it would likely be as an announcer.

    He said, "Going back to the WWE, I know I would have to work a full schedule pretty much 180 days a year. I don't think that's something I want to do at this point. A lot of people speculate, but if I was to go back to the WWE, it would probably be from a wrestling announcer standpoint, that's something I always wanted to do. So I look forward if I ever go back to WWE, it would probably be from a wrestling announcer standpoint. TNA is better for me as far as scheduling goes, but I don't think I'll working that hectic schedule anymore."

    The following is a new tweet from the official Twitter page of former TNA Knockout Awesome Kong:

    "My stomach is RUMBLE-ing. Craving sushi so I may SMACK DOWN on some RAW fish."

    Come on Michael Cole screwjerb. Even if he wasn't the GM he could BS it since no-one checks the laptop anyway.

    Well except Jericho, who knew the IP address. ;)

    I just read all this now- are the booker/nash rumours a piss take or what?

    Hope Punk wins, by far and away the best thing in the company right now.

    Could we see a similar scenario for Wade Barrett this year? Maybe have Punk eliminate him

    If only he returned as ABA since the Deadman thing is wayyyyyy to boring and out-dated

    Booker T returning as an announcer will be epic if it happens. Anyone who didn't catch his time on Smackdown when he would be there as a guest with Sharmell missed out as he was hilarious. I read at the time he used to make the boys in the back crack up. I can't imagine how Vince would let him get away with it though. Will be nice to see Booker again and hopefully it's not that King Booker crap but the good old fashioned 5 time, 5 time, 5 time, 5 time, 5 time WCW Champion, Sucka! Maybe even a brief Booker and Goldust reunion.

    He would continue a good legacy of decent ex wrestler commentators if he was put on the SD team.

    You'd have to worry that'd he'd use it to try to kickstart his dead on arrival go at Acting.Its common knowledge thats what he was trying to do with his career in Tna. Certainly he wasn't there to have good matches,put someone over or do anything productive.
