Mike Bennett was the latest guest on the Spencer Love With Wrestling program to talk about making a return to ROH after being released by WWE last April due to budget cuts related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Here are the highlights: 

Making his return to Ring of Honor

“Yeah! You know, it’s been awesome, first of all, just right out of the gate. It’s reinvigorated  my love of wrestling. It’s made me just like – I look forward to going to work. Even though we  get put in the bubble where we’re away from our family, I look forward to it because that’s what  I fell in love with with wrestling when I was at Ring of Honor the first time. Everything about that  company is what I love about wrestling. And then, when I went to IMPACT it was the same  thing, but being here back at Ring of Honor, like you said, the roster is different. Now, there are  obviously guys I recognize when I come back. I see Jay Lethal and the Briscoes and Dalton  Castle and these guys. Of course, those are my buddies and guys that I’m like, ‘oh, this is like  a family reunion. This is great!” But then, that roster is full of guys that I’ve never actually –  some I’ve never met, some I’ve only met in passing. And then, some I’ve never even seen, ever.  I’m just like, this is awesome, because for me [and] where I’m at in my career, I’m literally just  trying to have as many matches as I can so I can try to rebuild what my brand is [and] what my  reputation is. So it’s exciting. It’s exciting to think I can go get back in the ring with these guys  that I know, and then get back into the ring with guys that I have, you know, have never worked  before. We’ve never even crossed paths. So I’m super excited about it.” 

The deciding factors in coming back to Ring of Honor:

 “You know, to me, it was always Ring of Honor. I’m glad you touched on it, because there  have been other companies – like, I think AEW’s handled this pandemic wonderfully. They’ve  done great things with it. They’ve taken care of their talents. They’ve tested people. I think we  need to talk about – we’ve got to stop talking about the companies that did it bad. Let them do  it bad. History will look back at them and go, ‘wow, you really screwed that up.’ Right now, let’s  talk about the companies that are doing it well, and that’s these companies like AEW and Ring  of Honor. But for me, coming back, it was always Ring of Honor. Me and Taven are best  friends. In real life, in the ring, on TV. We talk all the time. We’ve been planning me coming back  for the longest time. Any time I was unhappy at WWE, I would always talk to him and I’d be  like, ‘how do we make this work? What do I got to do?’ Then, it finally happened where they  released me and Taven was like, ‘alright, now we can do it. Let’s do it.’ To me, Ring of Honor’s  always felt like my home. They were the first ones that gave me an opportunity when nobody  knew who I was. I was there for five, almost six years before. It’s my family. Everyone there was  at my wedding. It was like I left and I went for I thought what were greener pastures, and then  it’s like when you leave home and then you’re like, ‘you know what, homes really not that bad  at all. It’s great!”
