Former WWE Star Jonah On Why Release From WWE NXT Made Him “Angry”


Former WWE NXT Superstar Bronson Reed (Jonah Rock) recently spoke with Denise Salcedo on how he would not want to be in NXT 2.0 as he would not fit there anyway and that he would have done more on either RAW or SmackDown.

Jonah Rock said:

“Myself watching the product, and it’s no disrespect to anyone that’s on 2.0, but that is not where I would want to be if that was the direction.” “It’s never good to lose a job but I don’t think I’d fit in there anyway. I do think I had a lot that could have been done RAW & SmackDown-wise. All us guys and girls that get into the wrestling business want to be at a WrestleMania or a Royal Rumble, and I didn’t get to do those things”

Jonah Rock also spoke about how he didn't feel any sadness in being let go by the WWE as what he felt was anger because he worked so hard and believed in the black and gold brand only to be released.

Jonah Rock said:

“I didn’t have any emotion of sadness or being upset, which a lot of people do when they get released.” “That’s the instinct that you go to and of course you should. But I’ve been through so many ups and downs in my professional wrestling career where I’ve had things like this happen before where I was told, ‘no’ and that was it. But this time around, I was more angry because I’d worked so hard through NXT and believed in the black and gold brand.”
