Sidney Akeem discusses his desire to return to ROH.
Sidney Akeem, formerly SCRYPTS in WWE, has been trying to make a name for himself on the independent circuit ever since he departed from the sports entertainment juggernaut. However, he also appeared in Ring of Honor, losing to Johnny TV on August 29, 2024.
Speaking with MuscleManMalcom, Sidney Akeem revealed his plans to return to the company. He also says he wants to prove that he belongs in promotions like ROH, AEW, and GCW.
"You will most definitely see me back there. You gonna see me in a lot of other places as well. It was surreal. I’m not really surprised. I’m gonna be a little cocky here, or maybe just confidence, not cockiness, I do feel I belong in these promotions, whether it’s GCW, whether it’s maybe New Japan, AEW, WWE, I do feel I belong. If you had doubts before, just look at what I’m doing now. I really am putting the work in and laying down a solid foundation on what you need to do, what you need to be, what you need to do to be a professional wrestler. It’s not just the gimmicks and the 24/7 [Title] anymore. I’m earning my stripes, even though I’ve done it before. It felt good, it felt like it was home. It felt normal, and I’m just excited to get back there pretty soon."
When he gets back to Ring of Honor, Akeem hopes to work alongside EJ Nduka and Lee Johnson, who recently formed a team to tag him in the promotion.
“I want to get in with my dog EJ [Nduka], or Lee J [Johnson]. They doing some big things. I would love to tangle with Infantry. If you watching this, Shane Taylor Promotions, I’m gonna need to talk to you. Because you got that edge, and STP, Shane Taylor Promotions, you may be the guy that I need to get that circus, sommelier stench off of me. The right attitude, the right discipline, the right unlocking, I think that could be something right there."
It's personal for Akeem in his journey to prove himself.
He says he almost quit wrestling after being released by WWE. Read his comments here.
