Shawn Spears made his return to WWE on the February 27th episode of NXT, where he attacked Ridge Holland with a chair. Last week on NXT, Spears defeated Holland.
The 43-year-old had an underwhelming run in All Elite Wrestling before making his way to WWE NXT. In an interview with Fightful Select, Shawn Spears said that he left Tony Khan’s company on good terms.
“It was amicable. Absolutely. As was me leaving WWE in 2019. Again, I like to think that over the years I have accumulated a level of respect from my peers, from the people that employed me. There’s obviously a two-way street there, with a great deal of respect. So having things like that will prevent things from being nasty. They don’t need to get to that point. It was just a time that I felt it was best for me [and] best for my family, and as difficult as some decisions are sometimes, it’s nice to know that mutual respect can allow things to go smoothly. Much [more] smoothly than they may.”
