Heyman has been a big fan of Moss and had claimed Moss has a great future in the business. But unfortunately for Moss got ruled out of action due to an injury.

The return of Moss on SmackDown was surprising as he got drafted to Monday Night Raw last year. But he never appeared after the draft.

After an inquiry by Fightful, it was revealed to them by WWE that since Moss never showed up on RAW after getting drafted last year; they thought it was the right time to get the WWE superstar back in action alongside Corbin with the 2021 draft coming up.
