The same time I was trending and really happy for Edge on the inside, I was no selling because I was super worried like ‘oh no! Please don’t let this ruin things.’ And it just kept blowing and getting bigger and bigger and bigger on Twitter. I called people that I know and they go ‘I wouldn’t worry about it. Your thing, it’s different.’
But when SummerSlam hit, I knew it was the final nail in the coffin. And it was cool because I was like ‘wow.’ I never knew what Gangrel, which was my entrance originally and then became the Brood entrance, would look like in 2021. It was tremendously done.
So when I got the phone call that they were going to go in a different direction, it’s not their fault, it’s just timing. I was so grateful and so happy to be a part of that. They even thought about, Tony Khan and everybody, I think it was Tony’s idea to bring me in and do all of that. I was so grateful and so happy, but I knew deep down inside, I know how things go. It was just that timing.
Yesterday after that happened, I called [Edge]. He was like, ‘hey man, did you see it? I was getting ready to call you. Man I’m so happy and honored to pay tribute. You worked so hard and the Brood was a cool time in my life. I hope this helps you get more money out of bookings and move some merch.’
I let him go and he was so happy, I didn’t know what to say. Then I go ‘yeah, it kind of cost me some work.’ He goes ‘what do you mean, buddy?’ I go ‘well, that other company over there, AEW? They were getting ready to do a thing.’ Whether it was a one off or a two off, I was getting ready to do my entrance again. I was going to get through the fire, not Edge, me. But I didn’t tell him that.
