Heath Slater shared a video exaggerating his post-WWE future now that his contractual obligations to the company have been officially made.
Slater shared the video with the following title:
When I was young, I dreamed of having a place just for myself within the square circle. With the help of my mom and grandfather, I made that dream come true. At 23, my priority was me and only me. I lived the life that the old men told me about and life on the road was everything I thought it would be at first. As the years passed, my career evolved and so did I. I became a man, husband and father. Year after year, loss after loss, my time in the ring became less and less satisfying and my time at home became more and more precious, but there was never a healthy balance between the two.
Leaving WWE may not have been on my terms, but moving forward with the decisions I make regarding my career and my life will be ONLY on my terms. In the last 14 years, I’ve lost the man I thought he was … but thank God I’m going to find him again. I am ready to light my fire. I am ready to be the fighter I was meant to be, while being the father and husband my family deserves. Now it’s my turn and I’m going to get up. So you better be careful.
The video shows Slater checking into a hotel and then sleeping. While sleeping, Heath has a nightmare showing clips of WWE legends hitting him. Then you receive a wake up call from the front desk and look at the camera.
As you may recall, Slater was released with other WWE talents in April. However, he made a final appearance on Raw this month as part of the dispute between Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler.
Check out the post-WWE teaser below.
