During an appearance on Josh Martinez's Superstar Crossover podcast, Wardlow talked about his popularity with fans in AEW...
"I think even this is exceeding my expectations. I couldn't have wrote myself a better future than what I'm currently living. Or I guess I should say I couldn't have wrote a better reality for what I'm currently living. I wouldn't change a single thing that has happened or a single thing that is happening right now."
Wardlow also commented on Cody Rhodes making a return to WWE...
"I mean, I'll be honest, you know, I mentioned Cody [Rhodes], I feel like him going there [WWE] has been the reason I've kind of, you know, watched a little bit, because I got into the business late. I really don't have that many friends. I don't have many friends in general, by choice. But I really don't know that many people over in WWE, so I don't — there's nobody I watch on WWE that I'd know personally other than Cody. So him going back has caused me to watch a few things just to see what he's doing over there." (quote courtesy of PostWrestling.com)
