While speaking during the HUGE POP!podcast, Smith Jr. was asked about returning to WWE. He admitted that part of him would like another chance to prove himself in WWE. Smith Jr. explained that timing is very important in wrestling, pointing out that wrestlers like Ted DiBiase and Bret Hart found success because they were in the right place at the right time. He said he would consider WWE if the opportunity comes, as long as he gets a fair chance with some momentum behind him. Looking ahead to 2025, he mentioned that AJPW might extend his contract for another six months or a year, and hes open to it.
Smith Jr. also talked about his success in AJPW, noting that the company has been selling out Korakuen Hall every time hes featured. Hes proud to be part of the companys growth and improvement. While hes unsure about his future, hes open to seeing what happens, whether that means staying with AJPW or possibly returning to WWE.
