Plenty. I was fortunate enough to be put in situations that allowed for growth as an individual and more importantly, as a performer.

All information, good bad or indifferent, that I can pass along to future generations. https://t.co/c8ZQ3E6TEl

Shawn Spears On Returning To WWE

Speaking with Fightful‘s Sean Ross Sapp, Shawn Spears discussed his return to WWE.

“Once the opportunity came to come to NXT, I jumped all over it,” Shawn Spears said. “There’s gonna be people watching this right now that are saying, ‘Why wouldn’t you want to go to Raw? Why wouldn’t you want to go to to SmackDown?’ NXT is also killing it,” Shawn Spears said. “I have been here for a couple weeks now, and I have seen talent that has blown me away.

“What I love about that is that it takes me back to when I first started training, or it reminds me of my time here in the Performance Center, being in the spot that they’re in right now, knowing where they’re gonna have the opportunity to possibly go, the things that they’re gonna go through, I’m able to help guide in that sense too, with my time here at the Performance Center.”
