Ted DiBiase Sr. was interviewed by Under the Ring yesterday and he shared some updates about Brett. Due to the injuries on his knee, Brett will be released from WWE and will no longer compete nor ref matches. As Ted Sr. stated, he will be coming home and leave the wrestling business due to injury.

Ted DiBiase: I’m very proud. It’s not really well-known right now, but my youngest boy (Brett) has been in developmental for about three years. The reason he was there so long was that he kept getting hurt. Just recently, Brett had his fourth knee surgery. I personally believe that the knees are as an extended result of high school soccer. He had never had a surgery before, but there were times when his knees were bothering him. Soccer’s really hard on the knees. Four knee surgeries and a neck fusion. He kept going. He realized after the neck thing, even though the doctors cleared him and said he’s good to go and it’s safe for him to wrestle, there was a pain element after he would bump for a couple of days that they couldn’t explain, but the doctors said it was common. They said everybody reacts differently. When he realized he couldn’t wrestle without being in pain, well maybe we can go the referee route. Well, then we have a fourth knee surgery. I got to thinking about that and referees are actually up and down even more than wrestlers. Usually when we go down, we’re going down on our back. When they go down, they go down on their knees. Brett will really officially be released at the end of this month. He’s come home now. He’s in great spirits. He’s sad that it hasn’t worked out for him. But on the same token, he was very frustrated and the frustration’s over. We got closure.
It’s a shame that it hasn’t worked out for Brett, especially as he didn’t make it to main roster last year where he was supposed to with Joe Hennig but due to his knee injury, he couldn’t continue. It’s very sad to me that Brett wasn’t able to catch his dreams because of the frustration he was going through with his injury and to be able to do what he loves to do and that’s was wrestling. I wish Brett the best in his future as wrestling is no longer in his future due to his injury but the fansite will continue to support him whatever he may be in his future and we hope that he does very well in the future.
