Booker T addresses the recent talent exits. R-Truth, Carlito, and Valhalla (Sarah Logan) all revealed that WWE is not renewing their respective contracts and they'll soon be free agents. Those pending talent exits were discussed by Booker T on his Hall of Fame podcast. He spoke specifically about Truth and said he's not worried about him because there's always work out there for someone like Truth. He then gave Truth his props. “I did not see the thing with R-Truth coming, especially, you know, just coming off the match with John Cena. But this business, it’s fluid. Very, very fluid. Anything could happen at any time… Am I worried about R-Truth? No, I’m not (he smiled). R-Truth is a guy that still got a lot left in the tank… A lot of endeavors… It’s so much work out there for a guy like R-Truth so, paying his bills is the last thing I’m thinking about so, I know it’s a lot of people out there right now that are shocked, outpouring support as far as coming out for R-Truth. Just because R-Truth has been that soldier. He’s been in the zone. ‘99, you know what I mean? Since 1999, this guy has been a part of WWE outside of the TNA stint that he had, and so I give R-Truth major, major props for being able to parlay his success this far and this long in this business. A career like R-Truth’s, I don’t know if we’ll ever see another career like that as far the longevity he had in the business, being able to sustain in a dog-eat-dog world that it is. Being able to be that character and knowing exactly what the landscape of this business is all about. That’s why I always gave R-Truth so much props because so many guys do not understand the business. That dude, he stuck around. He stuck around for a reason. Big-ups to R-Truth.” Booker went on to state that everybody has their day and he knows his day is coming too. “It is what it is, it is what it is, it is what it is and like I say, everybody’s time comes. Trust me. Trust me. I’m waiting (he laughed). My time is gonna come. It’s either I’m gonna walk away or they’re gonna tell you it’s time to walk away sooner or later. Am I right or wrong?... So I’m just a realist, man. Just a realist.” Booker is a color commentator for WWE's NXT brand. He'll be on the call alongside Vic Joseph and Corey Graves for the 6/3 show.

During a game against the Washington Wizards, Atlanta Hawks guard Jeff Teague got by Jordan Crawford and was on his way to the hoop. Teague was met under the basket by Earl Barron, who was in position to take a charge. Barron was met with Teague's elbow. "I drove to the basket and they took a charge. I jumped in the air and they are taking a charge. I was tapping into my AJ Styles bag. I was trying to deliver that elbow. When I go to the basket and you take a charge on me, I'm trying to hurt you. That's the full story. I hate people that take charges. I hate that. I hate charges," Teague recalled on his Club 520 podcast. Teague did deliver a phenomenal elbow.
