WWE NXT star Shawn Spears appeared on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, where he talked about a number of topics including how he pitched his return to the company at the 2024 Royal Rumble PLE, although he was too late.
Spears said, “I shot my shot. I was a little late. I was too late. It was too tight of a timeframe once everything had to be settled and finalized. It was tight. Things evolved and it was a last minute thing. Royal Rumble is a massive event every year for WWE. I just missed the bar. I shot it out there and they were like, ‘Urgh, things are done and things are set.’ I was just down the street and I was ready, just in case. I had stuff made up just in case. Always be ready so you never have to get ready.”
