On not being sure if he would be able to wrestle before signing with AEW: “When my contract had [come] up with WWE, I was injured. So I wasn’t even sure if I could wrestle again. … Once I got cleared, it was kind of [figuring out] what [was] best for me at this time.”
On his decision to sign with AEW: “I want to use all the knowledge I’ve acquired over these years. Not like I can’t do that in WWE, but it was just a different opportunity to have a little bit more freedom in that sense.”
