WWE An Unlikely Destination For Free Agent Juice Robinson
Juice Robinson brought his four-year WWE stint to an end in 2015 when he parted ways with the company after requesting his release. Success followed, as Robinson immediately made a splash on the indies, becoming one of the first notable wrestlers who decided to cut his own path when developmental disillusionment reared its head. Robinson's grown a lot since then, and his stock has risen exponentially ... but he's not expecting to return to WWE any time soon.
"You know what they say in wrestling, 'never say never,'" Robinson said on the topic of a potential WWE return during a recent Inside The Ropes interview. "But you know, my life, it seems to be going [in] a different direction now, so I would say ... I don't even think that I would be a person that they are looking to have there, I was already there, it didn't really work, no problem."
Last month, The Bullet Club member declared himself a free agent during an interview with Sports Illustrated, insisting that his New Japan Pro Wrestling tenure had come to an end. If true, Juice would be free to reunite with WWE should the company come calling.

"I don't really know what they think about me," Juice said of WWE in the aforementioned Inside The Ropes chat. "I don't really care. And I'm sure they don't care what I think about them, so it's all good."
Robinson joined NJPW as a Young Lion in 2015 just a few months after parting ways with WWE, where he performed as CJ Parker on the NXT brand. Since linking up with New Japan, the 32-year-old has tasted success as both a singles competitor and as a member of the tag team FinJuice alongside David Finlay.
In the summer, Robinson married AEW star Toni Storm as the duo cemented its status as one of pro wrestling's hottest power couples.
