When Triple H took over WWE creative last year he brought a number of released wrestlers back to the company. It was reported that Eric Young signed a deal with WWE in 2022, but ultimately he never appeared on TV after signing the deal as he asked to be released after Vince McMahon returned earlier this year.
Following his release from WWE, Eric Young returned to Impact Wrestling, and he recently explained during an interview with Haus of Wrestling why he didn’t join AEW.
“I talked with some friends there and people that I trust, and Tony had kind of mentioned that he was interested, but it just never materialized,. And the truth is, I’m just going to get lost in the ether and in the mix like 60 other people there, right? The truth is I don’t have his confidence. Me and him aren’t close in any way, shape, or form.
“I’m kind of replacing one set of problems for another, and I have nothing against Tony Khan. From everything I know, he’s a very nice man. I met him a couple of times in passing. He treats the wrestlers with respect, he pays them very well, and is a very respectful man and a kind man. So, it’s nothing against the product or nothing against him. It’s just not my place. Impact Wrestling is my home, and that’s where I wanted to be. So that’s where I am.”
