WWE Star Addresses Future After Teammates Leaving The Company

WWE

A WWE star has addressed the future after his teammates left the company.

In October 2023, Zack Gibson and James Drake, then known as Rip Fowler and Jagger Reid, had their WWE contracts expire and left the company.

This led to the dissolution of The Schism stable as Joe Gacy set the only remaining member, Ava, free following this.

On the November 7 edition of WWE NXT, Gacy addressed the future for himself by looking into his own past. He said:

“When I started, it was just a whisper. It used to be something I can handle, but as I got older, it got louder.”

“It was like someone was at the back of my ear constantly yelling at me to the point where I saw nothing but red. And the people around would just look at me and judge me and label me. Call me the weird guy, some even called me a maniac, but it’s just me.”

“This is how I was built, this is how I was brought into this world and then the people I surrounded with somehow kept the voice so quiet. I barely heard it, but it was still there.”

“And it was like they were in a room filled of people and never felt more alone. Now, it’s like I’m in my own personal hell and I don’t even know what to do. But maybe I do, maybe I do know what to do.”

Gibson and Drake, better known as The Grizzled Young Veterans, have returned to the independent scene, wrestling for DPW, Revolution Pro, and other promotions.
