Former WWE Star Jaxson Ryker, who was most popularly known for his time with The Forgotten Sons group with Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake, recently appeared on the "Wrestling for the Faith" podcast, where he spoke about if he has any ill feelings towards the WWE and if he was feeling bitter or upset about being let go by the company as well as how he is looking forward to his future in the industry.
Jaxson Ryker said:
“I’m not bitter, I’m not angry and I’m not mad by any means.” “I had five fun years there where I got to do a lot of cool stuff. I got to travel all over the United States, wrestle in front of thousands of packed out stadiums and just had a really fun, good time with The Forgotten Sons, you know, doing the stuff with Elias leading up to the first live Raw that was in Dallas, Texas and had a good time but yeah, we came to terms on the end of my contract so you know what?”
“I look forward to the future, what God’s gonna do. I think he’s got some cool doors that are gonna open up for me and let’s just see what happens man.”
Jaxson Ryker also spoke about why his departure from IMPACT Wrestling back in 2015 was much more of a devastating blow than his recent release from the WWE.
Jaxson Ryker said:
“It’s not a front I’m putting on by any means because Lord knows 10 years ago, let’s see, I got released from TNA or IMPACT Wrestling in 2015 and it was more of a devastating blow.” “I felt like and financially, I wasn’t as stable obviously but I guess it was my relationship with the Lord was not as strong then so like I was telling my wife, I was in Church Sunday doing some prayer stuff at the altar and I’m not boasting by any means but it was one of those things where years ago, there would have been tears of worry and doubt, of, ‘God, what am I gonna do now?’”
“Well I have a five-year-old, I have a wife, I have a house. But not — this time in Church, it was that comfort and it was tears of joy and like you said, it’s that peace that surpasses all understanding man. It was just calmness over me right now and I contribute that to the Holy Spirit letting me know that he’s got my back and you know, just having that relationship with Jesus man. That’s what it’s about is trusting him and knowing that seek first the kingdom, Matthew 6:33. When you do that dude, he promises you, whatever you ask for. Whatever it is, he’ll be there and he’ll take care of you no matter what so, I love it. I’m ready for the future brother.”
