Bobby Steveson: WWE Didn’t Really Give A Reason For My Release, I Was Taken Off-Guard

Bobby Steveson has explained how his WWE departure came to be.

The former Damon Kemp revealed in July that he was no longer under a WWE contract. He had been a regular on NXT up until then, so his release from the company was a huge shock.

Bobby Steveson spoke in an interview with Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp , talking about his WWE exit. He revealed that he was given a phone call to drop the news on him, after a “weird” time when other wrestlers had been sent to wrestle in TNA, while he was left behind.

“It was a phone call. So, I don’t know, it was leading up to it. I think wrestling kind of has his way of telling you that things aren’t going the best without people being direct to you. So it kind of got a little weird with the guys getting to go to TNA, and I was getting left behind that, or without even being told what was going on. But one of my boys told me, so he kept me in the loop with that. The timing of it wasn’t really adding up for me. It was adding up, they was like, all right, they’re doing this.”

“So there must be something going on here. Then I was trying to have a conversation. I won’t say any names, just a heavily influential person the part of the show. So I asked the person a few times, ‘Am I still part of the group? What are we doing? Are we still moving forward?’ ‘Cause I knew what my timeline was or when my timeline was up with the company.”

Bobby Steveson: WWE Didn’t Give Him A Reason For His Release

Bobby Steveson continued, and was asked if the WWE gave him a reason for being let go.

He revealed that that didn’t, but that he wasn’t surprised given how that very same thing happens in other sorts as well.

“No, I don’t think they really give a reason, but I was like kind of taken off-guard. So I didn’t know what to really ask. Because I knew just from basketball, I have friends that get released, and they don’t really get an answer either. So I was like, I don’t really want to waste my breath, and at the time, I was just sitting at home by myself.”

“So I was trying to gather everything, like, ‘What happened?’ The weeks before, everything was going great, you know? Then it feels like the conversation you have with the person, and then things go like that. I’m like, ‘Dang, that was doing good.’ No hard feelings. I said it before, no hard feelings. I’d go back, but it was just like, ‘Oh, like, okay.”
