On why not getting signed by AEW was a blessing in disguise: “I mean that AEW cup of coffee run, I’m grateful for, that didn’t work out at the time. I’ll admit, I was bummed out. Looking back, blessing in disguise. If I would have signed with AEW, then I’d be on f***ing Dark, right? No offense to those guys. That’s not what I want. I was already that guy in WWE, you know? Yeah. I want to be in control of my own destiny, control of my own fate, and I’m busting my fukking ass. Yeah, is the ‘Indie God’ a gimmick? Yeah, but it’s also not.”
