Former WWE star Trevor Lee (fka Cameron Grimes) has commented on his plans for the future following the departure from the company.

With the SmackDown star released from his WWE contract in April, Lee recently returned to the ring following his non-compete clause expiring.

Speaking during a K&S Wrestlefest virtual signing, Lee addressed the idea that WWE dropped the ball with him.

Believing that he will wrestle on TV again in the near future, Lee said:

“It happens, right. A lot of it was timing, it was poor timing, but the beauty of the business is that it never ends. There’s never an offseason. There’s 52 weeks a year that there’s going to be television being produced for wrestling.

“It went from being two shows a week to now being five shows a week. So chances are, out of the 250 shows in the next year that will be on live television, I’m sure you’ll end up seeing me somewhere again at some time.

“So it’s unfortunate, but it helps build that story. That’s where it all is, it’s all pieces that build that story. Whenever I do make it back, it’ll mean even more.”

When the host noted that they expect to see Lee in WWE or somewhere else soon, Lee said:

“I’ll definitely be somewhere. I don’t have any doubt in that. I did have some doubt in that, when leaving WWE. But I definitely think that getting back into it, I’m gonna be able to get back into that mindset.

“I already did the hardest part. The hardest part is getting there, not getting back. The hardest part is getting there the first time.

“Even if I never get back there, I’ve accomplished a lot. But let’s say that I’m gonna get back there, and even I don’t get back there, I’ll be somewhere else and I’ll be able to elevate myself to a status that I wanted to do there. It doesn’t matter wherever I’m gonna go, I’m gonna do that.”
