Booker T has responded to Swerve Strickland’s comments following AEW Dynasty. On his podcast, Booker T said that he wasn’t upset about Strickland saying “F*** Booker T” during a promo that took place after Dynasty went off the air . But he did say that he didn’t think Tony Khan appreciated his statements.
“I’m not even going to get upset about it. I’m going to give Swerve Strickland a little bit of advice..
.that advice would be don’t be talking about something other than the pay-per-view at the end of the night. That’s the main event and the last thing people are going to remember.
...
I’m sure Tony Khan don’t appreciate the news, the headline not being what happened at Dynasty with all the matches...
they’re talking about Booker T. That was a bad move.” Booker T further said that he had felt the dispute was over, and didn’t expect to see himself trending on social media Monday morning.
“People like Swerve, we come from a different cloth, a totally different cloth. I wish nothing but the best for this dude, man,” he later added. “I want to see him succeed.
Would I ever say anything positive about him ever again? Probably not. Would I ever put him over as far as being a good worker and someone who could perhaps transform this business? I probably would never ever do that again. Because I learned my lesson.

Booker T on his podcast argued otherwise. On a recent episode of VladTV , Strickland responded by saying that Booker T wasn’t treated fairly when Vince McMahon used a racial slur in front of him at Survivor Series 2005.
Booker T responded by accusing DJ Vlad of pitting the two against one another, saying he had turned down an offer to be on Vlad’s show. Vlad later denied those allegations ..
