Mr. McMahon names Booker T the new SmackDown General Manager

July 31, 2012

INDIANAPOLIS – At tonight’s live SmackDown event in Indianapolis, Mr. McMahon confirmed the speculation of a new SmackDown General Manager – that man is Booker T. This confirms what was first indicated by WWE’s Breaking News mobile alert service earlier Tuesday.

The six-time World Champion has been a staple voice on the show since finding his place at the SmackDown announce table in February 2011. This exciting development comes just twenty four hours after Raw’s GM, AJ Lee, took the reins of Monday night.

To find out how this all played out, don’t miss SmackDown on Syfy, Friday night at 8/7 CT.
