Natalya Defends Booker T’s Viral WWE Hall of Fame ‘Sleeping’ Photo

The WWE Hall of Fame 2025 was a big night honoring wrestling legends, but the show went on for quite a while. Booker T was caught sleeping during the event and got clowned for the same, and now Natalya has come to his defense and for others who might have fallen asleep.

While speaking to the Toronto Sun, Natalya talked about the WWE Hall of Fame and especially Triple H’s speech. She said the speech was really good and made it clear that she and TJ Wilson didn’t fall asleep.

The Queen of Harts added that if other people did fall asleep, it’s important to understand that you don’t know what someone might be going through. Maybe they hadn’t slept, or something else was going on; no one really knows.

“It was an excellent speech, though, and that’s the thing—like, I wasn’t, you know… that’s why there wasn’t any footage of me or TJ, like, you know, falling asleep. Like, if people fell asleep, it’s like, you never know what people are going through in their life. They could have like, not slept, or who knows?”

This follows Booker T getting absolutely roasted by fans on social media, and even Big E made fun of him for the same. On the other hand, Booker T has now denied sleeping at the Hall of Fame and claimed that he was just praying.

While Booker T’s moment at the WWE Hall of Fame 2025 led to laughs online, Natalya’s kind response was a good reminder to be more understanding. We don’t always know what someone might be going through behind the scenes, and even the toughest people sometimes just need a break.
