When you're in WWE, it's a part of that contract signing, that grind. You're on-call 24-7. That's why you become the star that you are.

That's one of the reasons why I left WWE: not to feel tied up or pressured into fulfilling a certain number of work dates throughout the week or month - because of my injuries.

My life is with WWE.

When you lose your passion to be a WWE Superstar, there's no point in going back. It's a lot of work and sacrifice.

I do recall at one point being part of WWE and other guys taking the risk of stepping away, and a lot of guys don't do it because of the fear that it's not going to be the same.

Being a professional wrestler surely prepares you for any acting role in that we have to act on live television, so there's a lot of pressure put there.

To WWE and to everyone who owns WWE, it's a business, and if you become something to the people, you're going to become something to the company. It's just that simple now.

I have never even considered a future outside the walls of the WWE. However, sometimes life takes an unexpected turn, and while it is the most difficult decision I have ever made, it is time for me to move on.

I don't have much choice but to be a WWE fan in my house.
