You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On what he’s learned in AEW: “There’s a lot I know now, that I didn’t know when I was at WWE. I learned a lot these last three years at AEW… I’d have just said [if I was an executive in WWE], ‘Hey, I’mma make you the special assistant to the chairman, this is what I want you to accomplish every day’ and just go with that. But, that’s not what happened.”
On telling Vince McMahon about his ambitions: “I told him, ‘I wanna win.’ And not just win as far as who’s the person holding the title over their head, but I want to be connected with success is what turned me on. It ain’t like the days of looking at hot girls, don’t do it for me.”
