In a recent interview with Fightful, Shawn Spears discussed his decision to depart from AEW and return to WWE, where he is now part of the NXT brand. Spears left AEW on good terms, with his return to WWE being motivated by what he deemed better for his family. The opportunity to join NXT arose, and he seized it.
