Former WWE Star Knew They Would Be Released

WWE

A former WWE star has opened up on their time in the company, and how they knew that they would end up being released.

Hornswoggle was a part of many memorable moments during his 10 years on the WWE main roster, joining up with 3MB before his eventual release in 2016.

Prior to his release, he had not been featured on television for many months, which he took as a sign that the end of his WWE run was coming.

Speaking to PWMania, Hornswoggle spoke about his release from the company, and how he knew it was coming.

He said:

“Yeah, it was I mean, I knew it was coming. I just didn’t know when. I was off the road for probably a year and a half. I just knew it was coming. I knew any moment. But knowing it’s coming and it actually happening are two very different things, obviously. And I had a young son at the time, I was a single dad. So it’s a very world changing and life changing thing to happen. Going from your dream job, making great money to nothing is a big reality check.

“I’d say like everything kind of paused and I had to take a deep breath and go alright, what now? But hey, when I got hired, they told me this is gonna be a six month gig. And it was somehow two weeks under 10 years, but I made it work. Yeah, I’m either decent at my job or I stayed under the radar really well.”
