Bo Dallas’ 13-year tenure with WWE ended this past April when he was released due to budgetary cuts. He had last wrestled for the company in November 2019, and his absence was thought to be simply down to WWE not having anything creatively for him. Now though, during a virtual autograph signing for Highspots, he explained that he actually had suffered a broken neck and had been out recovering.
Something that a lot of people don’t know is I broke my neck two years ago. The last time I was on television on SmackDown, I think it was a segment involving, it was a B-Team segment involving Braun Strowman. I had a broken neck in that segment, and I got time off after that,
During his time away from the ring, Dallas wisely began preparing for his post-wrestling life and has started a real estate business with fellow wrestler Liv Morgan, who herself began training to be a realtor last year. However, he would also reveal that he isn’t done with wrestling during the virtual signing and calls it his passion.
I’m definitely, 1,000% not done wrestling. There’s no chance in that. My next goal is to find something that I can really sink my teeth into, something that I really love and that I’m passionate about that is not a one-off, it’s not a small-time thing.
I don’t need to do it, I want to do it, and I’m looking forward to finding that because I’ve been thirsty for that for a really long time and not creatively happy, and this is the opportunity in my life. I’m dabbling in a bunch of other things, but wrestling is my passion, and I’m re-finding the love for it.
With him needing to show he can still compete despite his injury and needing to lose the ring rust, it seems likely Dallas will begin competing on the indies soon. Then based on his own name and that of his family, it wouldn’t be a shock to see him appearing for AEW or Impact Wrestling in the future, possibly even with his former tag partner Curtis Axel who himself is a free agent.
