WWE: King Booker, part 8

King Booker would go on to compete in the beat the clock challenge to see who would challenge Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship at the Royal Rumble. He defeated Gregory Helms and gained the shortest time, but was ultimately superseded by Mr. Kennedy.

While competing in the Royal Rumble match, Booker was eliminated by Kane. A frustrated Booker then returned to the ring illegally and eliminated Kane. This caused a short feud between the two forcing a match at No Way Out which Kane won. Booker then went on to win a Money in the Bank qualifying match, defeating Kane (with assistance from The Great Khali) and earned himself a spot in the match at WrestleMania 23, which was won by Mr. Kennedy.

At Wrestlemania, Matt Hardy set up Sharmell for a Twist of Fate during the Money in the Bank match with the briefcase in Booker's grasp - thus forcing him to choose between a guaranteed title shot and his wife. He chose to defend his Queen and ended up losing the match. On the April 6th edition of Smackdown, King Booker attempted to take revenge. However, Booker lost the match against Matt Hardy and Sharmell declared her disappointment in him and slapped him. In an attempt to impress his Queen King Booker then attacked The Undertaker but was Tombstoned on an announce table. On WWE.com it was announced that King Booker will be out of action with sprain and strained contusion of the neck and will also be treated for his previous injuries of chronic knee pain, where he has a meniscus tear, and a chronic elbow strain and sprain. He is expected to return from injury towards the late end of June. It was reported on WWE.com that Booker had a successful surgery on his knee where they removed a bone fragment stuck in his joint.( Geeez!)
