Bobby Steveson talks being written off of NXT.
On the July 9 edition of WWE NXT, Damon Kemp, now known as Bobby Steveson, was trapped in the trunk of a car by Charlie Dempsey, Tavion Heights, and Myles Borne. This segment came just one day after Steveson had announced that his contract with WWE was not being renewed.
While speaking to Fightful for a new interview, Steveson joked about being glad that he didn't end up swimming with the fishes.
"Yeah, the parking lot is a deadly place. Like I said, I got the call on Monday and then I was obviously just don't go on the TV if you're not being resigned. So I guess like the guys are telling me, I was just being told like, ‘Hey, we don't know what we're doing yet. We're just like waiting around because like we don't have a script or anything like that.’ So I'm assuming that they had to flip-flop a lot of things because right when I was called, I just announced that I was not being resigned. So I don't know if they had to flip-flop a lot of things apart on that script because they weren't telling them anything. Then I tuned in, I watched it, and I was like, ‘Oh, I gotta do it somehow. At least I didn't end up swimming with the fishes.’ Yeah, I'm hiding in a trunk until I get a hopefully another call to bust out."
Steveson then went on to talk about his reaction to the segment.
"Obviously I heard. I was like, ‘Dang, man.’ I was watching. I had a laugh about it. I put a funny tweet out because me and Myles Borne were pretty close. I just put a tweet out and I was like, ‘Oh, shout out to Myles Borne for keeping the AC on for me,’ being in the trunk. Had a fun laugh with that, but obviously it hurt because I didn't expect it to be you being written off like that. But I had a laugh about it, but I also had a few frowns about it, but I guess you gotta write someone off somehow."
Elsewhere in the interview, Steveson talked about his future in the world of combat sports. Learn more about those comments here.
