He added that sometimes talent alone is not enough to keep a job in WWE.“Everybody that he tagged with, everything that he did, but you know what, man, it's not always about your talent or your performance. Sometimes your mouth, or sometimes you get in your own way, which I called and asked somebody, and I'm like 'Man why him? He was doing good.' Man, sometimes you know, people can be abrasive.”
