You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On being present for the altercation: “You already know what happened in the back. It was straight brawl city. I’m not gonna talk about that. Blood and killing and death [laughs]. You might as well say it. I was right there. We were next. They put us to be ready to go.”
On what it was like being backstage for the whole thing: “It was crazy. It’s ongoing they told me, this has been an ongoing … that was the last straw. It was the biggest moment for AEW and I guess he was trying to sabotage that moment. He wasn’t trying to go out there. I’m in the middle. I’m the fly on the wall. It was very intense. I always thought it was fake and all this sh*t. It’s more real. It was wrestling back there. A DDT, everything. I’m exaggerating.
“There was a yelling moment where he was like ‘F**k this s*t, this is our moment, everybody get the f**k out there and do your sh*t.’ I was like, I don’t wrestle, but I was about to go out there. It was very intense. I will always respect wrestling after I saw that.”
On who the yelling person was: “The big guy. The Hawaiian-looking [dude]. It was the guy going ham and I was like, ‘Oh sh*t.’ Then blood was everywhere from the fight before that. They came in and they were bleeding. I was like, ‘what is going on around here?’ This was intense.”
