Shane Haste On A Potential WWE Return: I’d Never Say Never

Shane Haste discusses potential returns with the likes of TNA, AEW and WWE, noting that he would ‘never say never’ about a WWE return.

Haste is a former WWE superstar, having wrestled under both the Slapjack gimmick with Retribution as well as wrestling under the Shane Thorne ring name with the promotion. Additionally, Haste has worked TNA and AEW events in the past few years.

While speaking to Bodyslam.net in a recent interview, Shane Haste was asked about a potential return to WWE in the future.

“So yeah, I’d never say never again to us being there, but, uh, that’s, it’s all up to, you know, in like we, as wrestlers, some wrestlers do get to pick where they get to go and whatnot, but you just see like a lot of things with like fans being like, they should go to AEW, they should go to TNA. I’m like, it’s not our choice. Like 90% of the time, it’s not up to us wrestlers to be like, yeah. Hey Tony, give me, yeah, I’ll go here. Give me what I want. You know what I mean? We don’t get that choice. We just got to go where the work is. Um, I’m very fortunate that my work has now led me back to NOAH and to the GHC title. So you just never know when things are going to turn around and whatnot, but I would never say never to going back to, uh, New Japan again. I mean, TMDK is there. Um, I’d love to go back and be with the boys. I’d love the boys there to be with us in NOAH as well. Um, yeah, I’d go back to, I’d do TNA. I’d do AEW again for sure. I go back to WWE. I’m open to it. You know what I mean?”
