Released WWE Star Says Vince McMahon Was Really High On Him

Over the last few years WWE has released quite a few Superstars, and fans were surprised back in July of 2017 when the company announced that Austin Aries had been let go. Aries had been working his way up the ladder in WWE, and it seemed like his future was bright, but his run with the company was cut short.

During a recent appearance on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s UnSKripted with Dr. Chris Featherstone, Austin Aries discussed his WWE run, and he noted that at one point Vince McMahon was high on him.

“I was a little surprised at the time. That being said, I kind of felt the shift. I know Vince was really high on me. He was the one who put me on WrestleMania after hearing me on commentary but then these things can be fickle.

They can sour on you as fast as they like you and you kind of feel the wind shift. There could be a number of factors that played into it. I don’t know if there was one. They didn’t give me any reason. If I had any heat backstage it wasn’t anything I was aware of.”

Aries also revealed whether or not WWE has contacted him about a possible return, and you can get more on that here.
