In an interview with Cult of Whatever, former WWE superstar Justin Gabriel (now working under the name of PJ Black) discussed his decision to leave the WWE, whether he will return to the company some day and more.

Highlights of the interview are below:

On leaving the WWE: “I see myself as more of an artist, I don’t really care about how much money I make, for me it’s more about the art of professional wrestling. There are a lot of guys that will just hang around because Vince will give everyone a shot and some guys will just hang around thinking that tomorrow will be their shot and then the next thing you know, 3 years have gone by. One year went by and I realized it wasn’t going to happen and I couldn’t wait any longer and that is the reason I quit. There are guys there that will just hang around waiting for their shots, who knows if it’s going to happen, it’s all a timing thing.”

On the WWE Network: “That was another frustrating thing for me, we had a Network, we have 24-hour programming and we could fit so many shows on there. We pitched a cruiserweight show, we pitched a hardcore show, we pitched all of these different shows which never came to fruition.”

On a potential WWE return: “Quite possibly, in two or three years who knows, I don’t plan that far ahead. Vince actually called me and said he knew I wanted to do my own thing and have more wrestling time, so he told me go away for 2 or 3 years and go do my thing and possibly come back. Hunter, on the other hand, didn’t like the way I did it because I quit over the phone and he told me he’s going to make me wait ages before I’m allowed to come back to WWE.”
