Kyle Fletcher discusses The Miz being an inspiration for himself on promos early on:“This always gets a bit of a laugh. Growing up, I’m a little bit younger than a lot of wrestling fans. One of the people who first drew me with their promos was The Miz.A lot of people have things to say about him now, but I still think he’s one of the best. I think I’ve always thought that. That’s always how it happens as well. It’s like, when they’re on the way out, it’s like, oh yeah, you know what? He’s pretty good. But I was 12 years old in 2011 going, This is the best. ‘I’m awesome!’ So, yeah, that was probably my first one.“
Kyle Fletcher on shaving his head last year, reveals it was his own idea:“I was getting sick of my hair, my blonde hair. And I was wanting to change it anyway. So I just broached the idea. It felt like a definitive change, a definitive moment to me. I was literally shedding the skin of being in Ospreay’s shadow, I was trying to get out of that.I also hadn’t had a buzzed head since I was 5 or 6 years old. So I’d never seen the shape of my head as an adult. So I’m like, man, what if I go on TV and I have weirdly shaped lumps or something like that? I don’t know. So yeah, it was pretty nerve-wracking.”
LA Knight has reflected on his time working with Paul Bearer. "You’re talking about a guy who, you know, was kind of placed with me, put with me and over that amount of time, those three years that we were together, we, you know, bonded, had a friendship and in the sense of him just kind of being just a really good person to me. Not only like willing to help or give advice or anything like that, but like literally touched that I was even asking. "So, that kind of stuff just spoke to me as to who he was and so, that’s a part of my career that I look back on fondly. I’ve got a picture up in my office. That, you know, is a shot of him and I from the back with, like, smoke coming up and everything, and it’s just a really, really, really cool photo from back in the NWA Hollywood, Championship Wrestling of Hollywood days."
Seth Rollins reflects on Cody Rhodes’ WWE return in 2022, notes that WWE wanted Cody in a John Cena-level position:“We were looking to make him a big star. He had done his due diligence while he was gone to get himself to a position where when we brought him back, he was ready to be kind of one of the top acts in the company. Which when he left, I don't remember what year he left, but when he did leave, he was not that guy. Top brass didn't see him as that guy.So he was coming back in a position where hopefully, they were hoping that they could groom him to be in the John Cena position. And so he was more than excited to get back in the ring with me.”
