Erick Redbeard talks a potential return to WWE.
Ever since returning to a position of power within WWE, Triple H has brought back a ton of stars to the company such as Johnny Gargano, Dexter Lumis, Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows, Mia Yim, and Bray Wyatt. The influx in hiring has seemingly established an unpredictable feeling on episodes of Raw, SmackDown, and NXT.
When Wyatt returned in October, many fans were curious to see if his former stablemate, Erick Redbeard, would be returning to WWE as well. In a new interview with WrestlingNews.co, Redbeard said that he would be the last to know about a return, while also noting that he's not currently under contract to any company.
“I would be the last to know. I feel like the fans like figure out or through you know, people call it the dirt sheets but it’s basically just the journalism without like verified facts. But I sometimes feel like you’ll hear rumors and then all of the sudden they come true so that’s why I always laugh like ‘I’ll probably hear a rumor, I don’t know.' All I can say is that I’m not under contract with any wrestling company, I’m a true independent contractor within acting and wrestling. Independent wrestling is alive and well so you know, support your local independent wrestling promotions because without them, there’s no future stars of tomorrow unless they just recruit through colleges [laughs].”
Redbeard last competed for WWE on the March 9, 2020 edition of Raw. He was released from the company the following month.
