He said, "The dream I had, they are dashed and my relationship was crushed. That was my absolute worst time"

Shortly, after the coach asked for him back he decided that he would not go back and told his father he wanted to get into wrestling🤼‍♂️. His father told him, you are throwing it all away. It's the worst mistake you ever make. You are ruining your career but he convinced his dad to train him in wrestling anyway.

Then, one of the biggest championships of the WWE he came into the ring and 20,000 people were chanting that he sucks.

It was so hard for him to wrestle because he felt like he couldn't be himself. That people didn't understand him.

Then later the year, he tore his tendon and had to stop wrestling for the rest of the summer. When he was about to come back, the executive of the WWE called him and said, when you come back we can continue to shove you down people's throat or we can turn your heel because they want to boo you anyways.
