This week on the Gentleman Villain podcast, WWE Hall Of Famer WIlliam Regal spoke about NJPW star Juice Robinson, who competed as CJ Parker in NXT, and Sami Callihan, who wrestled in NXT as Solomon Crowe, decision to leave the company.
“Sami always did great. He always worked hard. He was always well thought of. He might have his story. He asked to leave because he wanted more. He wanted to go and prove itself. He didn’t think he was in the position he wanted to be. He didn’t get let go. Rightly so, everybody wants more sometimes and he left. He left on his own accord.
“He’s done well. He’s still doing his thing with Impact. Sami always kept busy, but Sami left on his own accord. There can only be one main event or a couple of matches, right? So if you feel like you’re at the peak of your game, and you’re not getting what you want, especially there, you could talk to Triple H and look, I’m not happy here. He would happily let you go and do your own thing.
“There’s a few people that will tell you that they got let go. They didn’t. They asked to leave. CJ (Parker) (Juice Robinson) asked to leave. He didn’t get let go. I can think of one other person who might tell people that he got let go, but he didn’t the first time. He did not. He came and asked to leave. But I also know within six months, he was asking me to come back.”
As noted, MJF and William Regal had heated segment on AEW Dynamite.
