Heath says “sign me up” regarding a potential return for the WWE Royal Rumble.
Heath, formerly known as Heath Slater in WWE, had been with IMPACT Wrestling since 2020. He left the company when his contract expired in October, as reported by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful (via Fightful Select).
Speaking with Rewind Recap Relive, Heath was asked to describe what fans can look forward to seeing from him now. (H/t Andrew Thompson of POST Wrestling for the transcription)
“(Number) 22 in the (Royal) Rumble and I’m literally just having fun at the moment. Being real, it was one of those things where, you know, after WWE, I was with IMPACT for two years, nearly three years because I was injured for a year. So, it was one of those things where I was with them but now, when you were with IMPACT, they take up a lot of dates that you could have took independent bookings to.
“But then again, they would give you bookings also to where you could have other bookings too. So it’s like now, I’m booked up till like March, the first weekend in March. So, it’s looking alright, you know, at the moment. But no, I’m literally at the moment to where I’m having fun. I’m enjoying family time, I’m working the weekends so, I’m in the smooth sailing phase at the moment. But then again, I put nearly 16 years going strong, steady every damn day of my damn life to now just relaxing and chilling for a bit… I’m relaxing and chilling for a bit for sure.”
Heath On Potential WWE Royal Rumble Appearance
Heath also made it clear that if WWE called him about a potential appearance in the Royal Rumble match, he would be interested.
“Of course, if they (WWE) called me and said, hey man, you want to be number 22 in the Royal Rumble? I’ll be like, hell yeah baby, sign me up,” Heath said. “Let me just stay in there until the last five guys and throw me out. Who cares? But yeah, hell yeah man. That’d be fun as hell.”
