Vince Mcmahon retired from WWE last year before returning back to the company

Recently released WWE star's recent comments over his WWE exit and not wanting to work with Vince McMahon have stirred massive reactions among fans.

When Eric Young first signed with WWE in 2016, things looked promising for the former IMPACT Wrestling star. However, he was released from the company in 2020, soon after moving to the main roster, following a lack of creative direction.

Eric Young then reportedly re-signed with WWE in November 2022. However, his second stint only lasted a few months, as he reportedly requested his release from the company in April 2023. The star potentially cited not wanting to work with Vince McMahon as the primary reason for his exit.

Eric Young recently opened up about his WWE exit, stating that he didn't want to work there anymore because he was seemingly unwilling to answer to Vince McMahon.
