“She wants to flirt” – Booker T tells female WWE star to dial back her s*x appeal

Booker T has shared advice for a female WWE star, telling her to dial down her s*x appeal. The star has been competing on NXT for some time and has drawn the attention of fans.

Nikkita Lyons first started competing on WWE’s developmental brand in 2022 and has remained a part of it. While her personality and presence have gotten over with the fans, Booker T told her she needs to hold it back a little.

Lyons returned to NXT earlier this year after a hiatus, and last month she started participating in season 3 of LFG, where the Hall of Famer is a coach. WWE recently shared a video from the show ahead of Lyons’ match against Myka Lockwood.

In the video, Booker T talks about her personality and says she has a lot of talent but she wants to do other stuff as well.

“Nikkita has perhaps, you know, more talent than any woman in that locker room. She really does. But you know, she’s got that showbiz mentality. She wants to sing, she wants to dance, she wants to flirt. And there’s a time for all of that, but the timing has to be right,” he said.

The former World Champion then talked to Lyons in the video, telling her that he wants her to dial back the appeal.

“I don’t know, I guess, a certain part of your character makes my eye roam this way when I should be looking this way, and it’s because of your s*x appeal, all right? You gotta be able to dial it back, all right? You gotta be able to dial it back for me. All right? I don’t want you to lose it. I don’t want you to lose it at all,” she added.

Booker T tipped Nikkita Lyons for big things in NXT

Booker T was left impressed after Nikkita Lyons’ early run in NXT. However, her run was halted after she suffered a partial MCL tear and an MCL sprain.

She then returned from injury and began once again performing at the top level. Speaking on his podcast in 2023, the former WCW wrestler called Lyons “top-billing,” lauding her in-ring prowess.

He then tipped Lyons to become a future NXT Women’s Champion, adding that she could go on a hell of a run.
