Alex Riley Speaks to WWE's Website About His Return to Action

WWE.com has posted an interview with NXT star Alex Riley about his recent return to in-ring competition. During the interview, Riley revealed that WWE officials actually told him he would never be used as a wrestler again. Here is a highlight from the interview:

"It was never over in my mind. Although I had people in WWE and in very high-powered, prominent positions telling me I was never going to wrestle again. I heard things like, “if you have anything in common with Alex Riley, you should be worried.” Honestly, hearing those things was more painful than I can put into words. But in my mind, I lived everyday like I was hours away from WrestleMania. That’s how you know you love something. It's when there is zero chance of you ever getting to see it, touch it, do it again and you go on faith and never stop pursuing it."
