Released WWE Talent Open To Return

Former WWE star Javier Bernal has commented on a potential return to the company.

Bernal - who is now a free agent after being released on May 2 - was asked about the possibility of a WWE return during a recent appearance on Shawn Talks Wrestling, saying:

"Sure. I mean, like I said, any company that has the opportunity to hire me and use me and to take advantage of what I have to offer, they're a lucky one. WWE is now back on that market again. I don't close any doors. As angry as I could have been or as upset as I could have been, I'm not gonna close any doors because for one, it's not good business, but two, that's just not who I am. I don't feel the need to bury anyone or to make anyone feel bad about themselves or the company, there's no reason for that. Listen, I love Drew McIntyre, he's a good brother. I love Cody Rhodes, he's a good brother. I love both of them and I look up to them in that regard as far as that goes.

"But I'm looking to be the next Javi. I feel that, with the odds stacked against me is where I shine the most. If you give me a chance and you stack the deck against me, I'm going to do good. Any opportunity that I’m given, if people don't believe in me, it doesn't matter because I believe in me and once I believe in me, I'm going to do great. The whole reinventing myself thing, you know, I don't even consider it a reinventing. It's an affirmation of who I am and getting a chance to do whatever it is I choose to do. I'm open to WWE and going back to WWE. To be honest, I know I could get that call in six months, I could get that call in a year, I could get that call in three years, I could get that call in five years, but I will get that call about coming back at some point. I know I'll get a phone call and you know, it depends on whatever stage of life I'm at.

"That being said, right now, my goal is to be everywhere and anywhere. If a company like AEW, TNA, NWA, MLW, CMLL, New Japan, or any of the bigger companies, when they see me in person, I'm ready to do good business".

A product of the WWE system, the 26-year-old made his in-ring debut in 2022. He will be known as simply Javi moving forward.
