"You know, when you get signed to WWE, it's like you're travelling. You're grinding, you bust your bu**, you know what I mean. So, whether you're there 5 years, 10 years, 6 months, whatever, you have to take that platform that you built and move on," said Rosser.

Rosser admits that getting released from WWE is a hurtful experience:
"You know, it hurts to get fired. It really hurts. I'd be lying to you if I told you it didn't. But you've got to brush it off. You get that old saying. You get knocked down eight times, get back up nine times. For me, for example, when the pandemic hit, I didn't stop. I didn't stop working out. The gyms closed, I bought equipment and I used it at home. When the pandemic hit, I didn't stop with my social media sponsorship," added Fred Rosser.
