"I should have been here two years ago. I was actually in talks with them to come back two years ago, without giving too much information. I am back now, as of February. Technically, January, but February is when I started. As both a wrestler and a trainer. They've trusted me to train the next superstars of tomorrow at the highest point with WWE," he said.

He added:

"I'm very fortunate that I've found my calling. I used to be a math teacher, so teaching has always been in my blood. Teaching wrestling is something that I love. Realistically, I'm not going to wrestle forever, so I try to better myself and find a skill within wrestling that's going to keep me in wrestling, whether that's making gear, making masks, training people, or consulting."
