Booker T, the NXT commentator, has expressed his wish to witness a non-WWE talent join the company, pointing out a specific wrestler whom he believes perfectly fits the bill.
Alex Hammerstone, currently a free agent with his MLW contract ending on January 1, has garnered Booker T’s attention, and the commentator discussed his interest on the Hall of Fame podcast.
Booker T conveyed his eagerness to see Hammerstone in NXT, stating:
“That guy Hammerstone, I’d really like to see him given a shot. I genuinely would. He covers all the bases, ticks all the boxes. Even though I haven’t seen a lot of his work, I’m genuinely excited to see him get that opportunity.”
Hammerstone, a key figure in MLW, notably held the MLW World Heavyweight Championship for an impressive 644 days from October 2021 to July 2023. Preceding this, he enjoyed an 865-day reign as the MLW National Open Weight Champion.
Set to compete in the TNA Hard To Kill 2024 event on January 13, facing Josh Alexander, Hammerstone has also been confirmed for GCW‘s The Coldest Winter 2 in February.
