She would then get involved with Summer Rae during Dolph Ziggler vs. Rusev (again). She did not work Sunday’s show as Ziggler appeared by himself.

Pettengill said in his interview he enjoyed his time with WWE and would love to return one day. Pettengill said in his interview that he left on good terms and was really close with Kevin Dunn and Michael Cole (whom got his job at WWE in thanks to Pettengill.

“I f–king hated WCW.” He continued, “WCW could go f–k themselves ten times over. If WCW had a reunion today, I would buy a ticket just to tell them to suck my d–k.”
“I just didn’t fit in, and, at the time, there were a lot, a lot of big dicks swinging,” Vampiro recalled. “There [were] a lot of somas being used, everyone was all steroided out of their minds, there [were] stupid amounts of money, and there wasn’t a lot of room for a new guy like me to come in and light a fire under a lot of people’s asses.”
Vampiro also spoke about his relationship with Konnan and more.
