In an interview with Wrestling Inc, Rohit Raju claimed that Impact Wrestling nearly fired him over the Twitter exchange he had with Scarlett Bordeaux, which instead led to a match between the two at Rebellion. Here are highlights:

On Ed Nordholm not realizing it was a work: “[Impact] just told me to talk about Scarlett and then I put my own two cents in it as well. The best ones are always the ones that are blurred between the lines and I actually almost got fired. He was still upset about the stuff with Eli [Drake] so he gets ahold of Scott [D’Amore] and literally had my letter firing me written out. [Ed said] ‘I can’t believe he didn’t learn his lesson from Eli. He’s fired. You fire him and I’ve got the email written up.'”

On how Desi Hit Squad is booked: “They book Desi Hit Squad how they book Desi Hit Squad. I do feel we don’t come across as a threat. We did at one point, but we’ve kinda been booked into the ground a little bit.”

On the Women’s Revolution: “I’m all about it and I think it’s awesome how far women have come in pro wrestling…The sky’s the limit from here and I think what they’re doing is groundbreaking. It’s fantastic. It’s good to see that. They’re making the guys work harder as well. People gotta step up their game and now it’s finally a level playing field. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe the ladies still think it’s not. But they’re doing a hell of a job and I think it’s awesome…. or do I?”
