He said:

“Yeah, definitely. I did have a lot of fun with it. Again, that was, it was kind of the perfect blend of the people who did know who I was and that supported me a lot over the years. Especially even like from the fans in Ireland that kind of watched me grow up. Like I started wrestling when I was 13. So they really watched me grow up and then into the fans that I built up over the years and made in Japan when like some of the funny tweets went up.

“I’ve very thick skin, I chuckled, like, I genuinely, I can honestly say, like, I saw someone, man, I just chuckled, but then to see the support, it was an overwhelming support, it was a very nice feeling. I’m thankful that I have such a, in my opinion, like I have quite a strong one that the work speaks for itself, that it wasn’t just a case of like, oh yeah, there’s that like guy we saw in the crowd at the pay-per-view. It was like, oh wow, like he’s a wrestler, but not just a wrestler. Like he’s… I’d like to consider myself a very well-traveled and very, very sought after, I would say maybe commodity, especially in Europe and then going to Japan.

“I felt like that has, like I said, blew the lid off in the best way possible now. I feel like people are saying that, which is obviously the support was, it was very nice. It was a very nice feeling.”

Lyra Valkyria and Becky Lynch are set for another match for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship at Money In The Bank.
