It’s no big secret that the wrestling landscape has changed drastically since All Elite Wrestling was announce at the beginning of the year, and WWE has taken notice. WWE has pulled some big names from previous Starrcast events in the past, and now Booker T will no longer be appearing at Starrcast III.
I will not be appearing at @StarrcastEvents in Chicago as was advertised earlier.

F4Wonline.com is reporting that Booker T agreed to come to All Out, but he pulled out of the event.
The Hall of Famer reportedly said while pulling out of the event that he found out the AEW vs. WWE war is very real, and he didn’t want to be in the middle of it.
It’s also being reported that another major counter from WWE is expected shortly.
