Austin Aries Reveals Triple H’s Reaction To Him Getting Released From WWE

Austin Aries was recently interviewed by Chris Van Vliet. During the interview, he spoke about his release from WWE a few years ago.

Specifically, Aries revealed Triple H’s reaction to him getting let go. It turns out that the decision was not made by Triple H but Vince McMahon.

Here is what Aries said (h/t to Ringside News for the quotes below):

Friday I got a call from Triple H and he said I was being released. He said he was really shocked. He was as shocked as I was. It was per Vince [McMahon]. He just didn’t have anything for me and that was it.”

“I asked him some questions like if it was contract things we were negotiating, you know? I was literally surprised because there were no issues. I hadn’t had any issues with anybody.”

“I know I can be a f*cking handful, alright? Like I can be a f*cking nightmare I’m not gonna skirt around that and some of those [rumors] are earned and when you put them out there it paints a fuller picture and you’re still saying I’m an asshole and that’s fine. I’m just saying that in this situation I wasn’t going out of my way. I wasn’t expressing any frustrations. The only thing I said to express my frustrations creatively was ‘Hey I have no value left as a cruiserweight’ like it’s not really my role anyway. Like, I didn’t get over by being a babyface on commentary. It was just that Neville was so f*cking hot as a heel and Vince wanted me and Neville so well so I was a babyface.”
