Booker T Denies He Fell Asleep During WWE Hall Of Fame Ceremony

The WWE Hall of Fame 2025 ceremony was a long affair, with several of the attendees seemingly having a little snooze during the night's festivities.

One such name was Booker T, with the former world champion appearing to have a lovely little nap during the ceremony. Booker denies this, though, saying the following on his Hall of Fame podcast:

“I want to let everybody know that the photo that’s circulating around - I was not asleep. I mean, you could tell my head was straight up. It wasn’t tilted to the left or right. It was down because it was a sombre moment, and I was praying and really thinking about being in the moment. It’s one thing about situations like that, having that Hall of Fame speech and that Hall of Fame moment. Certain times it’s going to be laughter, but certain times you gotta really take it seriously about what’s being said. And at that point, I was definitely in tune. Let’s just say that I was in tune, but sleeping? No, I was not sleeping,” said Booker.

Although Booker claims he was definitely not asleep and don’t you dare suggest that he was, Logan Paul was apparently catching some zzzs:

“Logan Paul was asleep. I’m gonna tell you that right now, Logan was out. But it was several people that were asleep, that were actually asleep. If they would have floor cameras, they would have noticed. They would have said. But no, it was a lot of [people].”

Whilst there has been no confirmation of whether he slept during the ceremony, the HOF was such a long affair that inductee Lex Luger was wiped out the following day, and had to cancel an appearance on the WrestleMania 41 night one broadcast.
