You know, once I got that news I wasn&#8217;t even mad. I kind of felt like a pressure was lifted off my shoulders. Oh wow, I&#8217;m free to do other things, cool, all right, let&#8217;s see what happens.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On getting the release call:<\/b> &#8220;I was expecting to be angry and frantic. Actually, funny enough they called Friday night. I was in the middle of a leg workout. I&#8217;m doing squats and my phone starts ringing. So I put the weight down, because I have a gym in my house, so for me I&#8217;m just working out all hours of the day. So I pick up the phone and I received the dreaded 203 number. I&#8217;m like, Okay, what&#8217;s gonna happen? I don&#8217;t remember the guy&#8217;s name. I think he said it was Will from TR. I was like yeah, sure. What&#8217;s up? He goes, \u2018Sorry, we&#8217;re gonna release you from your contract.&#8217; My initial reaction was okay, cool. He goes, \u2018Yeah, sorry to get this news on a Friday.&#8217; So I had an NXT house show tomorrow, &#8216;So I don&#8217;t have to do that anymore?&#8217; That was my first question, too. He goes, No, you&#8217;re all good, just the 90 days and if you need anything let us know. I was like, &#8216;Okay, cool.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>If he was expecting the release:<\/b> &#8220;I wasn&#8217;t expecting it, but it was the thing of I wasn&#8217;t surprised. I guess I kind of saw the writing on the wall after a while.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On his immediate reaction:<\/b> &#8220;So I immediately thought to myself when I was released, I was like okay, that&#8217;s a job. Wrestling is my career. I may be out of a job, but I still have a career. All thanks to [Mustafa] Ali, he&#8217;s one of the guys that called me within the hour of me being released and was immediately like, hey dude, it&#8217;s all good. Just being super positive as you know Ali is. But yeah man, it sucked because it&#8217;s a dream job. It&#8217;s one of those jobs that I&#8217;m a kid and I&#8217;m like oh my God, I&#8217;m gonna wrestle for WWE. Then when it ends, it just ends. You just move on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On if he is interested in joining The Hurt Syndicate in AEW:<\/b> &#8220;One hundred percent. That&#8217;s a big chapter of my career that I really felt was never fully explored and I think it&#8217;ll be great to finish that out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On the Gary Garbutt angle and match:<\/b> &#8220;I got to work that day not knowing what I was going to do, which is the norm for WWE. I just remember sitting around and then the ref tells me, &#8216;Hey, we need you ringside.&#8217; I was like cool. Go down the ringside, hang out for a bit, talk to some guys. Nothing happened. Then Shane McMahon comes and gets me and goes, \u2018Hey, come with me to the production meeting.&#8217; Oh, cool, all right. Following Shane to production he goes, &#8216;Wait right here.&#8217; I sit outside the chair of the production meeting for what felt like 10-20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Shane comes back out and in that time they had already got the plan together for Drew and Shane to bully a backstage crew member, a janitor, and then for me to take his place, put his mask on and wrestle. I&#8217;m like, &#8216;Okay, why are we doing this?&#8217; It&#8217;s the story with Roman and Shane. All right, cool, fine. That&#8217;s good enough reason for me, and that&#8217;s all I got. Went out there and did the match. I remember calling the match with Shane and Drew, and I&#8217;m calling the spots I&#8217;m gonna do. Then I called the back elbow and Shane goes, &#8216;So you think you can do my moves now?&#8217; Sorry, Shane, this is what I was doing at the moment. What do you want me to do?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The weirdest thing from that was then taking the mask off at the end of the match and then having a smile on my face. It was the weirdest thing, because I remember the spot was to take the mask off and reveal it&#8217;s me, and I&#8217;m like I hadn&#8217;t done anything on Raw at this point. I&#8217;m just a guy. A guy from 205 Live that most people who watched Raw probably didn&#8217;t see the show. So I&#8217;m like all right, cool. Gonna take the mask off. I remember taking off and Roman goes, &#8216;Do it slow.&#8217; All right. I take the mask off and I&#8217;m smiling with a busted lip because Drew just kicked me in the face with a Claymore. And I&#8217;m like, Yeah it&#8217;s me. It&#8217;s me, Austin! I&#8217;m thinking to myself why the hell am I smiling? I just got kicked in the face. Vince was like, \u2018I want you to take it off and smile big like you just got one over on him.'&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"prowr-92082813\" class=\"prowr-content-4 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_2 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_2\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div id=\"prowr-3615203493\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1773,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,7,2],"tags":[2486,864,5382,1088,565,101],"class_list":["post-168241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interview_highlights","category-misc_news","category-newsticker","tag-aew","tag-cedric-alexander","tag-hurt-syndicate","tag-mustafa-ali","tag-shane-mcmahon","tag-wwe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
