Former WWE Star Still In Touch With Triple H, ‘Never Say Never’ About WWE Return

WWE

Former WWE star Eric Young was one of many names that Triple H re-signed to the company in late 2022 after Vince McMahon’s initial retirement from the company.

However, Young was never reintroduced to WWE television, with Bray Wyatt’s unexpected absence causing plans for him to be scrapped, as he was originally set to be a part of a ‘new Wyatt Family’.

Following WWE’s takeover by Endeavor, and Vince McMahon’s return to the company, Young requested his release, citing not wanting to work with McMahon as the reason why.

Now the Endeavor takeover is complete, McMahon’s role in WWE creative has been limited, with Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel being the mastermind behind the choice.

Young had a very good relationship with Triple H, speaking to Haus of Wrestling, he revealed that he and Triple H are still in touch, speaking just a ‘couple of days ago’.

He said:

“I still have a very good relationship with Hunter; I was just talking to him a couple of days ago. I loved it. The truth is, I never wanted to leave NXT. I knew that the main roster was the destination, and that’s where you made money, and that was kind of the end goal for most people. But the truth was deep in my heart I never wanted to leave in the first place. So yeah, I absolutely loved NXT. The main roster was not the same experience. It was a very poor experience, probably my least favorite out of my 30-plus years in wrestling.”

When asked about a potential return to the company now Triple H is back in charge of creative, Young said that he was still committed to IMPACT Wrestling right now, but noted to ‘never say never’.
