Some months ago, the @WWE lost one of its beloved crew members. This week marked our first international tour without Davey and the first with his son Henry in “his seat.”
I saw Henry when I arrived at #WWEClash and was greeted in the same way his dad hundreds of times before.
On what would have been his 64th birthday, I’m thinking of Davey, Henry, and their entire family. I’m grateful to work with all the unbelievably talented men and women who make our company what it is - and who deliver each and every night, in every city around the globe.
John, Zach and Aggie are some of the best people I’ve met in my 26 years in wrestling. They don’t get nearly enough recognition for what they do for all the men and women you see on WWE television every week.
It’s unfortunate to see some folks go after them for decisions that have absolutely nothing to do with them.
To the contrary, these 3 go above and beyond every week to help your favorite wrestler any way they can.
Each of them has gone out of their way multiple times for me and my family and I can’t overstate how grateful I am to have them as colleagues.
55,000 humans cheered for Danhausen and chanted You. Are. Cursed! as Danhausen stood in a @WWE ring with his great new best friend @JohnCena at WRESTLEMANIA.
Never Give Uphausen.
Thank you John.
Phenomenal is an understatement. Respect is earned and few are more worthy of universal industry wide respect than @AJStylesOrg. Thank you AJ for all you’ve done for wrestling. From anyone who’s seen you and those lucky enough to share canvas with you.
This year tested me in ways I never expected. At times, my career felt stalled & stale and I found myself wondering if there was still a place for me in all of this.
Being ranked so surprisingly high by @OfficialPWI means the world — not for validation, but because it proves that consistency matters. Showing up, even when it’s hard, counts.
Someone once told me, “Some years are for growing, and some are for building.”
This was a building year.
Next year, I bloom. ♥️
What a special place Japan is. especially for those of us who wrestle.
As AJ said, it’s a place worthy of giving everything you’ve got. Of course, that’s true anywhere in the world… but there’s something sacred here. I don’t know if it’s because I’m Japanese, but I believe the wrestlers and fans who shared this space all felt the same. Maybe.
He did too — John Cena, AJ — they’ve all chosen to step away from the ring. It reminds me that my own time might not be far off.
But I still have things I must do. I’m still struggling, still fighting, not knowing what tomorrow will bring.
All I can do is live this day with everything I have.
Thank you.
If only… one more time…
