Former WWE star Ezekiel Jackson recently shared a clip of himself running the ropes and taking a bump on social media.

Despite doing some training, the 46-year-old has confirmed that he is not preparing for any sort of in-ring comeback.

After a fan replied to the clip by asking him if he was making a comeback, the former ECW and Intercontinental champion responded with: "Currently just having fun".

Jackson worked for WWE between 2007 and 2014. As well as his title runs, he notably acted as the bodyguard and tag partner of The Brian Kendrick and was a member of The Corre.

After leaving WWE, the Guyana native wrestled for TNA as Rycklon and Lucha Underground as Big Ryck. His last match was for German promotion wXw in October 2015.

Real name Rycklon Edward Stephens, he now works as a personal trainer.

Last March, WWE filed to trademark the name 'Ezekiel Jackson'.

Earlier this year, Jackson reflected on being the final ECW Champion during an Interview with MuscleManMalcolm, saying:

"I walked back, man, and sadly, they were ready to roll into NXT and that was it. I came back, I'm happy as heck. It was kind of like in passing. It was always, for me, I'm celebrating myself as a world champ. I'm sure they saw something because they started running major promos on SmackDown for the next couple of weeks that 'he's coming to Smackdown, he's coming to Smackdown'. So there was something clicking there, but it wasn't like a big celebratory thing.

"I've seen the stuff in the past where somebody won a World Championship for the first time. But they went straight into the first promo for NXT, and it was kind of in passing. I wasn't offended because I'm like 'Dude. You saw something. Whatever's next, I'm ready for it'".
