WWE posted a video of Rhyno “addressing retirement rumors.” Rhyno was “fired from Raw” last week after losing a match against Heath Slater, but wrestled a couple of days later at a Raw house show in Santiago, Chile.
Rhyno explained the situation in the video below, saying that he’s going to “fulfill [his] contractual obligation with WWE” and work the December and January live events, but after that, “your guess is as good as mine.”
Hey guys. This is Rhyno here. I just wanted to clear up a rumor that I’ve seen going on for about a week now on Twitter about me retiring. I’m not retiring. I have no plans on retiring. It apparently started after I competed in a match with Heath Slater and the loser was fired from Raw. Slater won a match that we were put in by Baron Corbin. So I just wanted to clear up that rumor and say I’m not retiring.
I am fulfilling my contractual obligation with WWE. The December live events and January live events, I’m going to continue. And after that, I don’t know. Whether I compete in WWE or somewhere else, your guess is as good as mine.
Hopefully I cleared up any rumors and I look forward to seeing you guys at the live events.
