The outreach, and the support that I’ve gotten from friends, family, coworkers, colleagues, production, staff executives in WWE, the fans most importantly, it’s been insane.
“That’s what made me emotional when I got released was being able to hear from everyone how much I impacted their opinion in when watching WWE and when watching NXT.
