Sami Callihan, who worked in WWE NXT from 2012-2015 as Solomon Crowe, recently spoke with ESPN to talk about various topics. Here are the highlights:
Feeling like he was walking on eggshells in NXT:
“When I was in the WWE, I’ll be the first person to say that I walked on eggshells and I became a shell of the person that I was when I signed. I allowed too many people to get in my brain. Too many people to pull me in different directions. I didn’t know who I was anymore. I felt like I didn’t know how to wrestle anymore.”
Leaving WWE:
“I’m not gonna lie, it was scary. When I finally pulled the trigger and really bet on myself that was a scary thing, but I had to bet on myself. I wanted to be a guy remembered for going out on his own way. By leaving on my own terms, it kinda made me a badass character. I quit WWE. Not a lot of people can say that.”
