Yes... I'm afraid you heard that right.

I've mulled over this decision very carefully and I'm afraid under the current circumstances, I cannot give enough attention to LLR as I can. So here's the deal, firstly and more immediately I will be stepping down as General Manager of Smackdown Live after the upcoming draft. I will be leaving the blue brand in the more than capable hands of u/Steve_Chandler__.

Secondly, I will be formally retiring form LLR competition and from the moderation team at Dominion on June 9th.

Thirdly, I will go undrafted in the draft, I want to fight any and all people who would like to go one more time with me, or for those that have never had the pleasure, to go one on one with me regardless of brand. If you are interested and want to be a part of this tour please notify me here, on discord or in the reddit DM's please.

I currently have plans for certain events with some people dearly close to me here so I will be reserving the bigger events of the next two months for these matches I have in mind.

Lastly I'd like to just be honest for a moment. I have been here from almost the beginning, and I have played a big part of how things have been run behind the scenes for quite sometime too, I can honestly say this place has been an amazing part of my past few years. I've met amazing people, and amazing friends and to all of those people, and to those I haven't had the pleasure to get acquainted with, I really do wish you all the best here.

It hurt to leave but unfortunately I do not have the time to give this place my all for the minute, and I could only ever do justice to myself and and my friends by giving this place 100%. So with no title commitments anymore, and having done almost everything there is to do here in LLR, it is time to do what's right for me at this moment in time and retire.

Over the past two and half years I have had some amazing moments, the first really shocking heel turn on the contingency, the Advantage saga, my Intercontinental title reign, the Remnant, BTN, my World title reign and also being the first Grand Slam champion in LLR. It's been a pleasure to do all of this and make moments with a lot of you guys, you'll be close to my heart.

And fear not, this isn't goodbye, I'll remain in the LLR discord, I'll still be your friendly, karaoke signing, Monk in VC.

So to end all this rambling, and for that I'm sorry, but please do get in contact and I'll make space for you on my retirement tour. Thank you LLR!
