When Jake Paul went up against Ben Askren, there were quite a few who thought the match was a show. Many commented about it, but of course, nothing was proven. Now, over time, fans have predicted Paul’s next big match, and recently, Booker T came under the radar.

It was predicted that the next match is between Jake Paul and Booker T. However, King Booker isn’t interested in being another Ben Askren, indicating that Paul vs Askren was for the paycheck and the hype, and not to actually fight.

He gave a fitting response to the prediction, shutting down any type of ongoing rumour.
