AEW personality RJ City opened up on getting fired from WWE

Before joining AEW, RJ City worked for WWE between 2020 and 2021. He made regular appearances on WWE's The Bump and also had a recurring segment on the show called Wednesday Morning Wake-Up. Despite his entertaining segment and personality, he was released from the sports entertainment juggernaut.

During an appearance on the Rulebreakers podcast with Saraya, RJ City reflected on being fired from WWE.

"And then they got rid of me because it's a wonderful system and then I was like, 'Gee, the pandemic's ending,' I was like 'I'm gonna go back to the indies? I feel like 90 years old.' I really did, and I also saw people doing the exact thing they were doing before pandemic, and I was like 'This is unethical to me, this is creative malpractice.' So I was like, 'If I'm feeling like 90 years old, why not just be 90 years old?'" [12:35-13:13]
