Summary

Booker T said adding his voice to WWE 2K26 was a positive experience, but also admitted the recording workload was heavier than he expected.

He said the project involved more reading than he had ever done before.

Booker T is included in WWE 2K26 as an announcer, and he noted that he now uses some of the game's lines during NXT commentary.

He also said younger fans increasingly recognize him first as a commentator, and sees the game as extending that part of his legacy.

Booker T says WWE 2K26 expands his commentary identity for a new generation

Booker T describing himself as "immortalized" in WWE 2K26 commentary shows how seriously he views this role, and that consequence reinforces his transition from in-ring legend to a long-term broadcast voice for newer audiences.

Because he is already reusing lines from the game on NXT, the crossover between game presentation and live TV commentary could strengthen how fans connect his current persona across platforms.

Quote from Booker T

"Man, it's been an awesome experience working with 2K, finally getting my voice in the game. I think I bit off a little more than I could chew, though. I know it's more reading than I've ever done in my life. I use a lot of the quotes from the video game on NXT, so it's actually pretty cool. I've had a great career, so many people remember me from my wrestling career. So many kids come up to me now and they recognize me from being a commentator, and a lot of them didn't even know I was a wrestler. Now in the video game, I'm immortalized as a commentator, so I think it's pretty awesome."
