Eric Young first joined WWE in 2016 for the NXT brand where he remained until 2018 as part of the SAnitY tag team. He was eventually called up to the main roster but was released in 2020 during a round of cuts in the pandemic era. He returned to IMPACT/TNA Wrestling shortly after, the company that he's given so much to throughout his career. Then, in 2022, he was written off television as he quietly re-signed with WWE.
On Saturday Night's Main Event, Young opened up about having to sign an NDA before leaving the company, noting that he's not allowed to say any names. He also admits that he never actually left his house to go to work when he re-signed. "I didn't, no. I actually never left my house . I mean, the whole story's wild. Again, I had to sign an NDA, and I'm not allowed to say names…" When the host asks if Young's NDA is as ironclad as Janel Grant's, he alleges it depends if the case goes federal or not."It depends if it goes federal or not. I mean, I might be able to say everything here within a few months but, the truth is, I don't need to talk badly on it.
Young makes it clear that the current management is not what he has an issue with, and in fact if he wanted to make a return to WWE he can"1,000 percent guarantee" he could."In the end, I guess you can say joke's on me, because that person is not around anymore… I can give you 1,000 percent guarantee, I wanted to work there, I could. It's just at this point in my life, I'm just not interested.
Young returned to IMPACT/TNA at Slammiversary 2023, teaming with former TNA President Scott D'Amore against Bully Ray and Deaner. He's previously made it clear that at this stage in his career, he sees himself retiring in TNA.
