Booker T Announces In-Ring Return of a Past First Ever Champion in WWE, Just Weeks After She Blasted Them for Premature End to Her Lengthy Stint

A 36-year-old female wrestler, whose career endured limbo, is finally coming back to action. Two-time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T announced the in-ring return. The legend took to Twitter to confirm the big news.

The wrestler in question was a WWE employee, who recently lashed out at the promotion for the premature end of her stint.

Alicia Fox to feature in wrestling competition

According to Booker T’s tweet, Alicia Fox, 36, will feature in Reality of Wrestling’s Summer Of Champions IX on July 15. Former heavyweight champion Booker T found the promotion in 2005. On May 1, Fox announced the end of her 17-year association with the Stamford-based promotion with changes to her social media accounts.

During her nearly two-decade run with WWE, she became the first and only African American wrestler to win the WWE Divas Championship. Despite the historic feat, Fox struggled to break through like some of her peers.

In May, she was featured in an interview by MuscleManMalcolm, where she spoke about her stint with the WWE and aired her resentment towards the company. The same chat also featured another WWE legend, Melina, a three-time WWE Women’s Champion.

When she said, “I thought you were done!?” Fox was quick to correct her. “I never said that. The machine said that. Girl, this appearance has been eye-opening. I didn’t put my face in that alumni section. I never said that. My bags are still packed. I’m p**sed about it,” the 36-year-old said.

Fox’s last televised WWE match took place at the 2022 Women’s Royal Rumble. Meanwhile, she left fans surprised with a previous announcement at the beginning of 2023.

Alicia Fox once corrected a host about her WWE contract

In February, a clip of the former Divas champion went viral, which left fans in shock. She was seen correcting the host during an interview, stating that the wrestler was still with WWE. It wasn’t unusual for the host to think that the 36-year-old had ended her contract with the company, due to her decreased screen time.
