Low Ki requested his release from WWE in December 2010 after losing in under 30 seconds to Drew McIntyre on SmackDown. After the match, he reportedly asked WWE management what plans they had for him, and when they revealed they hadn’t any at the time, he requested his release. Ten years on, Low Ki has discussed his brief time with WWE with WrestlingINC and claimed they were scared of him due to his experience and honesty.

They’re scared, why? Because they didn’t make me. Why? Because I’m groomed the old fashioned way. I gained my experience. I’m a journeyman, and on top of that, I perform at a higher level than those guys even think. So, why am I going to sit there and walk-in? I’m going to pay attention to the behaviors of the people who are supposed to be in charge, I pay attention to their behaviors, and I’m supposed to sit there and listen to them and watch how they treat other people? And I’m supposed to sit there and let them do the same thing to me? Notice, I don’t point anyone out and condemn them. Or even ten years later, I don’t single anyone out and say they did this and they did that. I have plenty of those stories, but I haven’t done that. Why? Because I don’t need to.

Everyone who has left that company, how many of them speak positively? So I keep saying the same thing. I’m ten years removed. You still have the same people in charge. So why do you think the same behaviors are occurring? So why do you think the same arguments are being made? Am I outspoken? I’m not outspoken, I’m honest. They don’t like that, especially when it’s going to destabilize their supposed frame of reference of being in charge. Everywhere that I go, because I’m honest, I piss everyone off, because there’s a culture that exists in the environment of “this is how things are.” I change that shit all the time.Low Ki

Low Ki’s run in WWE only lasted two years, with him wrestling for the promotion between November 2008 and December 2010. During that time, he was renamed as Kaval and won the second season of NXT, where he was mentored in storyline by Michelle McCool and Layla. After being called up to SmackDown, he’d be a regular on the show but would lose most of his matches.

He’d go on to wrestle for New Japan, but after refusing to go wrestle at an event in Fukushima following the nuclear disaster there. This resulted in New Japan ending their relationship, and he’d go on to have multiple runs with TNA. He is currently competing for MLW.
