In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet as part of the INSIGHT With Chris Van Vliet podcast, WWE NXT superstar Shawn Spears discussed several topics, including his decision to leave All Elite Wrestling, and why he will never say anything bad regarding AEW President Tony Khan.

“I think it just came down to a personal want, in terms of wanting to contribute a little bit more, both in front of the camera and behind the camera. I had a wonderful time in AEW, I have and have had a great relationship with Tony Khan, you’re never going to hear me say anything bad about that guy, same thing with a lot of the EVP’s, talent, everything.

I had a wonderful time, I got to learn a lot about myself as a businessman, and a lot more of what not to do, and a little bit more so of, it’s ok to kind of put your foot down, it’s ok to kind of have faith in what you’re worth and faith in your ability and things like that, so it was a really good learning process, in terms of being an individual man in different company, but man, my time there was special, getting to work with all the top guys based on a lot of storylines that I was in with MJF and FTR and things like that, so a lot of things that I would have never gotten to do, I think in my career, I was very fortunate enough to do there.”
