Young was then asked whether he “worked” when he went back to WWE, and he stated that he did not. He noted that he never even left his house. Young stated that he had to sign an NDA when he left WWE, and he discussed his decision to do so.

“I didn’t, no. I actually never left my house. The whole story’s wild. I had to sign an NDA, and I’m not allowed to say names. The truth is, I don’t need to talk badly on it. It is what it is. I talked to Hunter, and he hired me back and wanted me back there, and I was. Another person came back, and I won’t work for that person. I won’t be around that person. I said that when I left there the first time, when I got fired, and I meant it. For me, there’s tons of professional reasons, but mostly it’s a personal and moral decision. I don’t have to be there. I have a very good life outside of there. There’s no doubt it’s the pinnacle of sports entertainment. We just saw [with WrestleMania XL]. I don’t know if it could be more perfect, to be honest. It’s the big fish in the pond, and no one will say that, I will never change my mind on it. That was my goal. I did, I went there, I had a bunch of cool things. I was hired back there to do something very cool, and it just didn’t work out. In the end, I was gonna be forced to compromise who I am as a person and as a man, and I’m not willing to do that. It’s not lost on me that I was able to make that choice because a lot of people aren’t going to get that choice. You’re going to make decisions and you’re going to be forced to do what you gotta to do. If this was 10 or 15 years ago, I wouldn’t have been able to make that choice," Young said.
