The former 205 Live General Manager was shooting a documentary of his return to the ring when he got the call about his release from the company. Talking about his time in the company, he aid:

"It's just a case of adapting, just like this situation now, okay? And I always look at it like this: 'Right, what have I got in front of me, what have I got to play with? Okay, here we go. How can I make this better than what it is?' And that's what I've always done. If anybody that's followed my career, even here at WWE, I don't get given anything man, I get given crumbs, but I make it a steak. And I've always wondered right, what would happen if somebody one day just gave me a steak? Think about what I could do with it."
