Booker T Responds to Vic Joseph’s Comparison of Signature Moves

On a recent episode of NXT, Joe Hendry secured a major victory by winning the NXT Championship in a ladder match, surprising many fans. In his first title defense, Hendry faced Evolve Champion Jackson Drake, showcasing his skills and spinning toward the camera in his usual style.

During the broadcast, Vic Joseph drew a comparison between Hendry’s signature spin and Booker T’s famous Spinaroonie maneuver, even suggesting Hendry’s move might surpass that of the Hall of Famer. Booker T, however, swiftly rejected the idea.

“Don’t go there, Vic. Please Don’t go there,” said Booker.

Despite the challenge, Joe Hendry successfully retained his NXT Championship. Following the match, Hendry was unexpectedly attacked by Ricky Saints, a former AEW competitor, signaling a potential new challenger for the title moving forward.
