@ShawnSpears Congratulations dude!
Shawn Spears signed a contract with WWE in 2009. He spent the majority of his first stint with the company in the developmental brand, OVW. He also competed on ECW in 2008 before getting released in January of the following year.
The 41-year-old returned to the Stamford-based promotion in 2013 for a second stint and wrestled on NXT and SmackDown before getting released again in 2019.
Spears is currently signed to AEW but has been absent from TV programming since October 2022. Fans will be hoping to see the ‘Perfect 10’ return to action soon.
Wrestling veteran believes Bray Wyatt has no credible opponents in WWE
It has been over three months since Bray Wyatt made his return to WWE at Extreme Rules. However, the former Universal Champion is yet to compete in a televised match. He is currently embroiled in a feud with LA Knight. The duo will face off in a Mountain Dew Pitch Black match at Royal Rumble.
The feud did not sit well with Vince Russo, who stated on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW that Wyatt should be feuding with an established star. The former WWE head writer added that he does not see anyone with much credibility on the current roster:
"I've always been a huge Bray Wyatt fan. OK, I don't watch SmackDown, but when I see what's going on on SmackDown, my first reaction is, what? Why are we booking his first program with the Harlem Knight dude, LA Knight. LA whatever. What? Why are you booking a Bray Wyatt with a guy like this? What do you think he should go against? Somebody who is established, somebody that means something, which is the problem, because nobody means anything."
Bray Wyatt’s return to WWE was something special man! 🔥 https://t.co/eAow0O3twx
Besides LA Knight, the Eater of Worlds has also had to deal with Uncle Howdy, a masked figure who has been stalking him since his return.
We at Sportskeeda congratulate Shawn Spears and Cassie Lee on becoming parents.
