Former WWE star Brodus Clay who is currently going by the name of Tyrus and is the current NWA World Heavyweight Champion recently expressed his desire to have a one-off with WWE and he also said that he wanted to end his career in MMA.
Tyrus aka Brodus Clay started his professional wrestling career back in 2006 in WWE. His first in ring name was G-Rilla and he was given a strong build. After spending 2 years in WWE he was released from the promotion in 2008 but he was brought back once again in 2010 as G-Rilla but soon he was repackaged as Brodus Clay.
Tyrus Is Ready For A One-Off With WWE
WWE continue to give him strong build but after a while they realised that it might not be working for him in a long term so they changed his gimmick and he was now a fun loving and dancing man who allied with Naomi and Cameron and together they were famously known as the Funkasaurus. He was given the same theme song that Ernest Miller used in WWE back in 2004.
In June 2014 he was released from WWE for the second time in his career and he never return to the promotion once again. After getting released from WWE he joined Impact Wrestling where he was given is new ring name which was Tyrus.
He worked in the promotion for 4 years and he walked on the independent circuit after that for a while. Currently he is active in the NWA and last year he won the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and became the largest NWA World Champion ever.
Brodus Clay who is currently going by the name of Tyrus recently spoke to Fox News Digital interview where he expressed his desire to have a one-off with WWE and he also said that he wanted to end his career in MMA. He said;
“It’s one of those things where, like, I think because I started there (WWE), it would be nice to go back and say goodbye. But as far as a long-term run or anything like that, no, I’m not interested in that anymore.
“I’ll probably finish my career in the NWA, but it would be nice to come back and have a one-off or just say goodbye to the fans. Where I started in the WWE is a big part of my success and, again, like I said, a lot of it has to do with scheduling.
“I’m pretty busy with Fox and there are no part-time jobs in the WWE. I’ll cross that bridge when I get there. I was with WWE on two different occasions, and on the second occasion, I did a lot of great things and really proud (about) that. So, if I never went back, no sweat. If I did, it’d be a nice close to a chapter and to move on. But my future is with the NWA for the time being, and I can’t really see that changing.”
