Young, who could easily walk away from the business, revealed that the only reason he continues wrestling is his sheer passion for it. He emphasized that the moment the job stops being fun, he will step away without hesitation. He went on to share that he has turned down big money opportunities with WWE, indicating that he could return to the company if he wanted.
