Booker T recently weighed in on Ronda Rousey's participation in this year's Royal Rumble via his Hall of Fame podcast.

"When you've got a player like Ronda Rousey, you've got to use her, okay," Booker said. "It's not like the regular kid on the block. It's like if John Cena said, 'hey guys, you got any room for me to come back for a couple of weeks?' What do you say? 'Bro, we ain't got no space around here,' you don't say that, you make room. So for me, having Ronda back was really, really cool."
