Former WWE and AEW star Cezar Bononi declares he had no plans to return to TV wrestling.
Cezar Bononi performed in WWE NXT from 2016 until his release in April 2020. After getting released from WWE, Bononi transitioned to AEW, where he competed in several matches on AEW Dark. In 2023, AEW terminated his contract, ending his tenure with the company.
Since his tenure with AEW ended, Cezar Bononi has shifted his focus to becoming a fitness coach. In a recent interview with Denise Salcedo, Bononi shared that he does not plan to return to regular TV wrestling, citing the toll it takes on his body.
“I’m going to be honest, I don’t plan to get back on TV. My body feels so good right now. Wrestling is really, really bad for the body. My body feels so good. I still love wrestling, I still want to be part of that, I still want to have my matches. I want my son to actually see me wrestle and enjoy. He’s four, he was really afraid of the noises, so he never watched it even though I took him to a few shows but actually, last night we had a show in Boca, that’s a place that I’m working the most, Boca Raton Championship Wrestling.”
“We work there every two, three months and I just had a run-in and my son watched it and loved it so I’m still having fun. I’m being very picky with whatever matches i’m having. If it’s a client of mine, of course i’ll do it, but travelling weekly, I think that part of my life is (behind me). I feel that what I’m doing right now, I’m really giving back to the industry, like everybody wants to, right?” [H/T: Wrestletalk]
