ROH Champion Jay Lethal Comments On Rumors of Interest From WWE

Ring of Honor Champion Jay Lethal recently spoke with Scott Fishman of Channel Guide Magazine to promote this Friday night’s ROH All-Star Extravaganza PPV.

He had the following to say on the rumors that WWE are interested in him:

“I’ll say also if that is true, I’m honored.

To be wanted in professional wrestling, that’s all a wrestler can really ask for. Just to be wanted, it’s a great feeling. So if that’s true, I’m honored. I haven’t heard anything about that myself. Would you work for WWE? I’ve answered this question before. To me the answer is still the same.

When I became a fan, it was because I watched the WWF as a fan growing up. It helped create this love growing up that I have for professional wrestling, much like everyone from my era. All the guys I’ve wrestled today. To say it wouldn’t be cool to work with or for the company that helped create my love for professional wrestling, I would say that I was lying. So given the chance and if the timing was right, sure I would definitely work for or with them. I got to say by the same token, I’m on cloud 9 right now. I’m undisputed champion of a company that’s known around the world. Not for its storylines, music or entrance. I’m the world champion of a company known around the world for its wrestling. What an honor to get to say that.”
