As reported here earlier on eWn (click here to read), NXT talent HoHo Lun requested his release from WWE two weeks ago. In an interview with WWE.com, Lun explained exactly why he had to leave the WWE.
Here’s what he had to say:
Lun: “I went to Hong Kong for vacation about three weeks ago and that’s when I realized that my mother is sick. That’s why I decided to tell Matt Bloom, the head coach of the PC, that I wanted to request my release. One of my top goals was to perform in front of WWE Live fans in China, it was a really tough decision because I wanted to perform in my home.”
WWE recently signed eight Chinese national athletes & Lun helped them get used to their new surroundings.
“Having the job of helping them get used to America, not just doing things in the ring about wrestling, but helping them figure out how to be a foreigner living in America, that’s absolutely something I’m proud of.”
“I want to thank the WWE fans for supporting me over the last 13 months. I hope that they can keep following me with my next journey, because I will be making history by helping the scene in Asia and maybe one day, I can come back to WWE again and perform as a WWE Superstar.”
