According to ProWrestling.net, rumors that Booker T was very close to re-signing with WWE, and most likely would have returned to the company at The Royal Rumble were true.
However, negotiations fell through between both sides and an agreement was never reached.
The reason seems to be that Booker T was demanding a much lighter schedule, including tat of participating in less house show events. Booker T was asking for a schedule like Shawn Michaels got but WWE would not agree to the terms.

What a loser. Who the hell he thinks he is to ask for a schedule like HBK's? R-Truth is a better wrestler than he is and deserves a push. Screw Booker T. He's an asshole

It's common sense that for a company such as WWE to expect you to work hard if you expect them to sign you.

Shawn Michaels has a reason for his schedule, booker-t does not have a reason.

I agree with the assessment that Booker T is an asshat. but i used to really like him. When did he jump the shark? was it during his TNA run or before that?

Wow, The Stupidity of some of these comments is truly astounding.
Booker Should have been given the schedule he requested. I feel he has earned it.

Yeah, sure, ole Booker T *really* earned a legends schedule. It was legendary how he managed to be "the man" as WCW came crashing down. It was legendardy how Booker was finally given a title reign in WWE when the writers couldn't think of anything else. And lets not forget the tenure in TNA, where he brought in a belt and called himself a legend, while at the same time losing the ability to speak in any known tongue. I mean seriously? If anything, Booker needs to do himself a favor and just stop. If Booker T deserves a candy work schedule, then Hornswoggle needs to become the WWE and World Heavyweight champion.
