Rhyno recently expressed that he had been unhappy over not being used more often by WWE towards the end of his most recent run in the company.
The former SmackDown Tag Team Champion now plies his trade in IMPACT Wrestling and has had two different stints with WWE, between 2001-2005 and 2015-2019. While his first spell in the promotion was successful, he was not pleased with his second run in the company.
On the latest episode of the the Talk’n Shop Podcast, the star stated that WWE offered him a massive contract in 2019:
“They (WWE) offered me the biggest contract they ever offered me.'' said Rhyno. ''This was in 2019. (...) it wasn’t like, ‘oh eff you, I want to one-up you or I’m better than this (...) Heath and I, we were only on the road like, one house show loop a week or a month and I love being on the road (...) I just enjoy being around the boys, I like to work."

The 46-year-old revealed that he had started to hate the wrestling business and life outside of it. He also noted that he enjoyed life on the road and wanted to help find future talent.
“I would just be sitting home more (...) I was becoming miserable and I was hating, not just the wrestling business, I was hating life. I was talking to Scott (...) and he was like, ‘yeah we’d love you but, (...) we have a budget, (...) you could go out and do indies’. I always enjoyed the indie scene (...) I like finding that talent and helping the talent out.” (H/T to Wrestling Inc.)
