“All of my options are open right now. I’m very open about that. I don’t know what I wanna do next and it’s one of those things where I’m kind of in a time period of my life where I’m figuring that out.
I’m figuring out what my goal is, and what lasting legacy I wanna leave. I do have a lot of unfulfilled things in WWE that I do want to accomplish.
Johnny also discussed his knowledge of several organizations including as NJPW and AEW, as well as his desire to wrestle elsewhere.
“There’s WWE, there’s AEW, there’s New Japan {NJPW], there’s doing a run on the indie scene, there’s a lot of things that I’m kind of debating, working on right now. I don’t know when and I don’t know where I’m going to return but I promise you when I do, you all will know.”
