Below are some top WWE news stories of the day, involving Jey Uso and Booker T.
• Kevin Nash, on his “Kliq This” podcast, offered his observations and advice regarding Jey Uso’s current singles run in WWE, suggesting the star might be experiencing the physical strain of his elevated position.
Here’s what the former WWF Champion said:
“I thought Jey looked tired. I think Jey looks like he’s put some weight on. I think the pressure of this spot is weighing on him. He’s over as f**k. He’s just gotta relax. I think he needs to do some cardio. These houses are so f**king electric in Europe, but they get with them anyway.
Like I said, that YEET thing is like Jazzercise. If you get too involved in that process, I think he really has to get in the middle of the ring after they introduce him.
I think he has to do like Hogan used to do with the gimmick. He needs to YEET one side, YEET, YEET, YEET, go to all four sides. Don’t go to the corners, don’t jump up, just do it right in the middle of the ring and then lock up and do your match.
I think he’s gotta save his energy and then he can YEET all he wants after he gets the win. That’s the Steve Austin 10 minutes after the show is over and they’re still throwing Steve beers. That’s where you make that connection with the people.”

• 2-Time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T shared his thoughts on the induction of the legendary WrestleMania 13 match between ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin and Bret ‘Hitman’ Hart into the new “Immortal Moments” category within the WWE Hall of Fame.
Speaking on his “Hall of Fame” podcast, Booker T expressed some specific reservations about the type of recognition while wholeheartedly supporting the idea of commemorating the iconic encounter.
Here’s what the current NXT commentator said:
“That really is not really a Hall of Fame. That’s a match. You shouldn’t get a ring for that. It’s a match. You get a plaque or something. You don’t get a ring for it. Let’s get real. You get a plaque.
If they do make it happen, both of those guys on stage together actually reliving a couple minutes of that match… just to have those guys on the stage for that moment, I think, yeah, those are moments that you capture and they live forever, those moments like that.
To see those two guys on stage one more time reliving that, heck yeah. I can see that. Most definitely.”
