Speaking in an interview on Smooth Vega Podcast, Cage stated:

“Then they said, ‘Oh, never mind.’ I’ve said this quote a lot of times, too. He texted me out of nowhere and he goes, ‘Never mind. We changed our mind. You’re average at best.’ I go, ‘Average at best? This mother******?’ I go, ‘Okay, let’s really face it. You and I both know I’m better than average, but thanks for getting back to me.’ But after that, that’s when I finally said, you know what? I don’t need to go back there. I’ll do what I need to do.”

Cage also noted that he was open to a return, but did not treat it as a necessity anymore.

“Now, doesn’t mean I’m saying like, ‘Oh, I’ll never go back there.’ It was just like, you know what? If I don’t go back there, it’s okay.”

You can check out his comments below:

Brian Cage was desperate to return to WWE at one point

According to Brian Cage, he was devastated to learn that he was being pushed away from the Stamford-based promotion.

In the same interview, the AEW star noted:

“I was so desperate after I got released, and that was a whole bunk story to get back to. I felt like my life was over. And after a lot of ups and downs, like I got re-signed, then I got rescinded, then I got cast for Tough Enough, then I got taken off that. Then I saw Johnny Ace in Fresno when I was living there, and he said, ‘Hey, we’re going to bring you back after Mania.’”

The return never happened, but it remains to be seen is Brian Cage will indeed be given another opportunity in the future in WWE.
