WWE Global Ambassador Titus O’Neil appeared on the Business of the Business podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including potentially making his return to in-ring action.
O’Neil said, “I do get the itch to get back in the ring, I love competing, I love entertaining, but as I said in previous interviews, if there’s an opportunity that works well for me to do so, yeah we’ll definitely do it, but I’m literally getting ready to do two or three other film projects. I already did two film projects that will be coming out in 2025, I do desire to have a high level of success in Hollywood, much like my fellow WWE stars that have made that jump, including one of my best friends who got me into the business, Dave Bautista. I am really excited about that process, I have some great people to follow, I have some great people to lean on in John Cena and Dave Bautista, to ask questions and to get kind of the best practices to help me on this journey, much like I would pick the brains of many of the veterans when it came to wrestling. I do the same thing, and fortunately, I have a lot of people that are already in Hollywood that are friends of mine that can kind of help me to continue developing in that journey.”
On how Triple H and TKO support his humanitarian work:
“I think Triple H for sure has been a great steward of the resources the WWE platform has provided, even with the merger. I think one of the things that I enjoy about what Triple H does is he has allowed talent to tap into their philanthropic endeavors more, things that people are more passionate about, they’re able to be more about about and forthright about as well. Take a guy like Sami Zayn, who, several years back, he was worried about whether or not he’d have backlash for starting his own non-profit to help those in Syria. I said, ‘If you got backlash for starting something that would help human beings, that would be a sign to me that I’m working for the wrong company.’”
On helping people change their lives:
“Your wherewithal to see the capabilities of not only the company as a whole utilizing their platform, but every talent, every producer, every backstage hand, everyone that’s involved with this platform to change people’s lives forever. If we don’t take the opportunity to do so, then we’re just mismanaging what God has given us. I’m happy to say that today, we’ve done an amazing job of not only garnering new partnerships with various organizations, but also helping those organizations double in most cases their impact, not only through our financial contributions. But also through our talent portal, where different talent have been alongside organizations, like Boys & Club, [along with] our longstanding partners at Make-A-Wish, our longstanding partners at Special Olympics, our longstanding partners with the military troops, all these have continued, and I’m sure that they will continue because they’re near and dear to not only Triple H and the leadership there, but also those in TKO Group, which also embodies UFC, and there are a lot of fighters and performers that also share that same desire to make an impact with this global platform that they have.”
