#3 Triple H wanted to bring Eric Young back to WWE NXT

Eric Young

IMPACT star Eric Young was recently a guest on Sitting Ringside with David Penzer. Young was released by WWE earlier this year with a host of other Superstars and staff, as the pandemic hit.

During the interview, Eric Young opened up about a conversation he had with Triple H. Young revealed that Triple H had wanted him back in NXT after WrestleMania 36 but COVID-19 ended up changing plans.

"I was still talking with Hunter and he was very interested in having me back in NXT after WrestleMania. That is where I was supposed to go. Obviously plans changed and the pandemic happened and I got furloughed or fired. I say fired but they are going to say furloughed because it sounds better."

Unfortunately, WWE ended up releasing Eric Young in April, following WrestleMania, along with a number of other Superstars and staff. Young went on to sign with IMPACT Wrestling. He has been very critical of WWE CEO Vince McMahon in interviews following his release, saying that the WWE Chairman had failed as a leader.
