The former WWE and AEW name is interested in a possible return to WWE if the opportunity was to present itself.
Speaking with Steve Fall of NBC Sports Boston, Redbeard was asked about potentially returning to WWE and whether the opportunity to do so is still there. Redbeard has wrestled in WWE previously as Erick Rowan along with the rest of The Wyatt Family.
“There’s always opportunity, and my story within wrestling and that character of Erick Rowan or Erick Redbeard, it has so much left to tell. I think when I stepped aside when COVID happened and people were let go, I wasn’t ready for my story to stop on that [note]. But it’s been a couple of years. I’ve stepped my toes into over avenues of entertainment, which I’ve fell in love with. But wrestling has always given me, I don’t know, I’ve been lucky enough where I’ve been able to do some bigger arena shows with AEW and get that taste of the crowd. But I haven’t had a story. I haven’t told a story of what’s happened to me since I’ve stepped away from wrestling. To me, I’d love to tell that story on some sort of stage because I think it could be very interesting to see what’s happened to me. I love the continuality [sic] within wrestling. The last time anybody saw me, I had a pet spider that died, so I’d like to talk about my years of recluse, wandering the earth, finding reason and purpose for life without my precious spider [laughs],”
