While he mainly focused on the positives about his pro wrestling career, Parker Boudreaux dug deeper into his WWE release and contrasted it to how the promotion is now run under TKO and handles releases of wrestlers today, before recalling the exact day of his release.
“When I was there, it was, like, COVID time, so it was, like, everybody was still kinda sick and stuff like that, and you had to get tested a lot,” he remembered. “I thought it was, like, a great day, and I just got back to my apartment, I got the call from Mr. [John] Laurinaitis, and they said it was budget cuts.”
Boudreaux then added that the man who released him, John Laurinaitis, isn’t even signed to WWE anymore, and there are many new faces in charge of deciding who gets hired or released from the promotion who don’t know him.
“So it’s the person that fired me that is not even there, and I talk to, you know, many superstars still in the WWE now, and Mr. [Paul] Heyman, some other people,” Boudreaux said. “So, it’s just I think the relationship with me and WWE is still really solid.”
While it would be surprising to see Boudreaux signed to WWE after his release, several others who were released alongside him, like Dexter Lumis, Dakota Kai, and Candice LeRae, have all made their way to the promotion (and released again), so it might not be too far-fetched.
