So it’s just weird, but like I said, I don’t have any hard feelings against the company or anything. For as far as I know, Triple H and Shawn Michaels loved me. You just don’t expect it, you know what I mean? And I didn’t do anything to deserve it I was told. He was not expecting to be cut by the company but if the opportunity to return came about, as of the interview, he would not accept the offer because of how other talents were treated. None of that is gonna fix anything so I was just like, ‘Yeah dude, I just got fired’ and he starts crying and I was just like, ‘I gotta let you go’, click. I was just kind of like, ‘What can you do?’ There’s no point in crying, there’s no point in screaming. I’m here, I can’t find the package’ and I was just like, ‘I just got fired’ and he’s like, ‘No! You’re lying’ and I was like, ‘No dude. So I answer, I’m like, ‘What’s up bro?’ And he’s like, ‘Hey bro, I’m at your apartment.’ Here in Florida, he was picking up a package that was for him, sent to my place for the backstory and he was like, ‘I’m at your apartment. I was getting another call and I look and it’s Matt Riddle. He was like, ‘Haha’ and before we got off the phone, I said, ‘Is there any chance that I could get my job back one of these days?’ And then I was like, ‘Not any time soon but like, you know, in a year or two?’ He goes, ‘I can’t answer that right now.’ I go, ‘All right, thanks man’ and that was it, click and as soon - oh yeah, I didn’t hang up. I’m going to be all right’ and he started laughing.
It’s budget cuts’, blah, blah, blah and I was like, ‘I get it.’ I said, ‘No sour grapes.’ I literally told him, I said, ‘I’m badass dude. ‘You’re just doing the firing because that’s what you’re paid to do and he’s just like, ‘Yeah man, really sorry.
You’re not the one that made the cuts’, blah, blah, blah. They fired me two weeks before getting cleared and I was at my grandmother’s house having lunch with my grandma and my great grandma and we’re literally talking about work and my phone rings and it says ‘Canyon Ceman’ and I just go, I said, ‘Hold those thoughts’ and I walked outside, I waited ‘till I got in the backyard and I answered my phone, I go, ‘I’m getting fired huh?’ That was the first thing that came out of my mouth and he was like, ‘Uh, uh, hey man, I’m really sorry.’ I was like, ‘Dude, it’s your job. Literally, the training after my Cruiserweight Title match, the next day I go into training and a dude breaks my freaking wrist and I was two weeks away from getting cleared before I got fired. I had one week off before I - so I got hurt while I was in WWE.
When I got the call - I’m in Florida now. While speaking to Lucha Libre Online, he recalled the conversation he had with Matt Riddle following the release. He was cut from the company two weeks before he was supposed to be cleared to return to the ring. Prior to his release, Rogers’ wrist was fractured while training and he had to undergo surgery. ** This past June, Stallion Rogers, the former ‘Curt Stallion’ was released from WWE.
