I’ve kind of always known it was gonna be part of my journey and my life. I just didn’t know when the opportunity was gonna take off, and it got to a point where I showed up with Dan [Lambert] and the story took off and I realized I wanted to be a part of the show, I wanted to continue this journey with AEW and ended up signing a contract.”
