Silas Young Clarifies His ROH Status, Talks TV Championship Reign

Silas Young spoke with CBS Sports clarifying his status with ROH after his contract expired and more. Highlights are below:

On if he’s testing the free agent waters: “Oh no, I’m gonna re-sign with Ring of Honor, I’m really happy. I just like to have fun on the Internet sometimes, that’s all…Yeah, it was just me and my family. We were down in Orlando and the weather was kinda cold and crappy. I was like, ‘Oh, I’m just gonna post this to amuse myself.'”

On if he’d have any interest in going back to WWE: “Right now, I feel like I have really good momentum with Ring of Honor. I feel like there’s really good things happening there, I’m really starting to come into my own. I have a lot of things I want to accomplish. Right now, I don’t see it happening, but never say never in wrestling. I’m really happy. I really enjoy the work, the schedule, the creative freedom, everything that Ring of Honor allows us. ”

On his ROH TV Title reign being vote of confidence from the bookers: “Yeah, absolutely. In wrestling, a lot of guys, we’ve wrestled a lot of different places, and we’ve won championships before. To be honest with you, winning the Ring of Honor World Television Title, there was a huge sense of pride with that. It’s a world-renowned company, and it’s a belt that’s only been held by guys who are highly respected. I take a lot of pride in that, and like you said, it’s knowing that the company, the bookers, they have confidence in you, they think you can carry that. It’s awesome, I’m enjoying it.”

On the Women of Honor division’s rise: “Women’s wrestling, in general, has been a huge thing, and a huge thing to pop up in the last, I don’t know, few years or so. It’s good that Ring of Honor’s recognizing that there’s a lot of really good, talented female wrestlers out there. It’s good that they’re getting another place and opportunity to showcase that.”
