Former WWE superstar, Curt Hawkins, who was released by the company last Thursday, has stated that he felt relieved when he was informed that WWE was letting him go.

Speaking to the Shining Wizards podcast, Hawkins said, "It was expected to an extent. Really I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders."

"They weren’t using me and I was just living this life of sitting and waiting around and not able to commit to things in my real life. Like if I wanted to go a wedding, I never know if they (WWE) are going to come calling. It was kind of annoying, to be honest with you."

Hawkins added that he is keen on returning to the independent wrestling scene.

"Anyone that knows me, knows that I’m just crazy about wrestling, and I’ve had my pulse on the Indy scene and it’s something I’ve been dying to dive into and now I finally can," Hawkins said.
