00:00Put up the questioning here in the last row.
00:02Sure, hey, Cody, Daniel from The Messenger here for you, Cody.
00:06Congratulations to both of you, but I'll direct this to you.
00:09Social, here now, a video of Jade Cargill arriving to the arena tonight.
00:14I'm curious if you've had a chance to chat with her at all about joining WWE,
00:20and then also, you know, now that she is here,
00:23I think the elephant in the room is sort of whether or not you've had the opportunity
00:29to chat with anybody else from the other side about coming here,
00:33but expressly whether or not you have had a chance to chat with Jade,
00:37and then what your expectations are for her here at WWE.
00:50I'm going to give you a full disclosure.
00:52Full disclosure.
00:54Ud and I might have had a libation or two on the list.
00:58Maybe.
01:00But that said, I was very excited for her to make this jump, and very proud.
01:11Jade came from the Nightmare Factory, but I didn't train her.
01:14I'm going to tell people in the future when I write my book, maybe I did, but no.
01:19QT Marshall, Carolyn, Kuari, they set her up.
01:22They trained her, and they've helped her get to the spot where she took this big leap.
01:30So I'm just very proud.
01:32Now the work begins.
01:34There is a mindset here at WWE that did not exist.
01:38Maybe it did.
01:39I didn't notice it.
01:40If it didn't exist when I was here the first time, that it is the most team-minded group I've ever seen as far as a show comes together.
01:49And this is an individual business.
01:53It's tricky.
01:54It's political.
01:54It's show business, right?
01:57And that team-minded set, like, what we have has proved so fruitful.
02:05So now I just hope that she can rise to the challenge and the occasion.
02:10I think for sure she'll be able to.
02:12And then the back end, the other part of your question, I don't know.
02:19It's not going to be my job to be the liaison to my former peers or whomever, you know, one locker room.
02:29I would hope everyone does what's right for them, right?
02:36It's what's right for you.
02:37One of the things I was watching him in the ring tonight, him and I came up around the same crop, the same group.
02:45And here he is, and they know his stuff.
02:48And they're vibing with him.
02:50There's a connection.
02:51And it wasn't there.
02:51Kusama, I've been around Kusama my whole life, basically.
02:55Kusama, what's up, baby?
02:56Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:57If y'all know Kusama, Kusama's been here older than she, older than all of us.
03:03She's been here since both our daddies.
03:05What's your eyes at?
03:06What's your eyes at?
03:07But the thing is, gosh, I forgot what I was saying.
03:15You were talking good about me, and you was watching me do my work.
03:20No, you know, watching him do his thing and be connected and everything to that nature.
03:26And I took a different path.
03:28I left.
03:28I did all the things I did.
03:29He stayed in the fight.
03:31He stayed doing something different.
03:32But for us to be able to convene, you know, the first thing we did, we had a little cheers with these championship belts in the ring.
03:38And the cheers is to our families.
03:41This is what we do.
03:43You know, there's people who are getting fossil fuels.
03:46There's people who are building rocks to the moon.
03:48What our families do is entertainment.
03:50And it's a high service.
03:52And to be able to deliver at that level with him tonight, I was lucky to be in there.
03:57Matt Aguilar from Combo.com.
04:02Hi, Jay.
04:02How are you coming?
04:03Boom.
04:03Congratulations.
04:06I hope you don't have your green and stuff, because I know at times you've said, like, you don't love the term anymore.
04:10But you've talked about in the past finishing the story.
04:14And you've also talked about other stories taking place within that.
04:18And this seems like something that amazing that kind of happened organically.
04:23Now, all of a sudden, you are an undisputed tag team champion with main event check.
04:28How do you view the story now at this point in time with the way things have changed?
04:33I wish you had asked an easier question.
04:38I'm going to say this.
04:46In regards to everything I do, what's in my mind and what I came back to do, the story specifically, not flinching.
04:58And there's a lot of reasons to flinch.
05:00I'm aware of everything that's going around, but I'm also aware of what happens when I go out there.
05:05I'm aware of what we did tonight, so not flinching.
05:10As far as the story is concerned, I don't know.
05:13Ask Jay.
05:14Jay, where are we at in the story?
05:15I never thought, though.
05:23It was all me, though.
05:24I would be a two-time undisputed tag team champion.
05:29We're calling the road, dude.
05:32Like what my dog said earlier, though, like, you know, everybody had their path.
05:36We intertwined, man.
05:37I used to, and we're going to be real for some stardust stuff, some dusty roads, some dusty roads type stuff.
05:46Like, so my heart is full of joy tonight with him because we all, fuck.
05:52Sorry, honey.
05:56We all hustle hard.
05:59Everybody's in their hustle, booze.
06:01Y'all reporting, y'all.
06:02Everybody's in their hustle.
06:04But, like, man, it feels good, though.
06:06Like, when you see somebody from the bottom with you at the same level.
06:11My brother's the same way on me.
06:13Like, as much as I'm going to smack Jimmy in the face, to me, seeing him wrestle Johnson bring joy to my heart.
06:22Solo joy to my heart.
06:24Like, it's all good here.
06:27But, like, you either step up or get stepped on right now.
06:31And right now, man, like, come on, man.
06:34We're writing a story.
06:35We don't even know the story.
06:37Chapter.
06:37This is a chapter.
06:38I bet a bunch of y'all lost money thinking Judgment Day was going to win tonight, though.
06:44Let's go.
06:45You feel me?
06:46You feel me?
06:47Come on.
06:49Hey, guys.
06:50Rick Ushino, cagesideseats.com, Presby Nation.
06:53One for each of you, if that's okay.
06:55Cody.
06:57Just a little over nine years ago, I do believe if I'm right, was the last time you won WWE Tag Team Gold.
07:02And that was at Night of Champions.
07:04I believe it's September of 2014.
07:06Against.
07:07Against.
07:08Against.
07:08Against.
07:09Against.
07:09Against.
07:09Against.
07:09Against.
07:09Yeah, against.
07:10Against.
07:10Nine years ago, Brian, how old are you?
07:1335, actually.
07:14I look good for you.
07:1545.
07:16I look good for 35.
07:17Yes.
07:17All right.
07:18But I wanted to ask you, you know, things I never thought I would see happen, the two
07:22of you sitting here.
07:23From that night, you kind of touched on this a little bit.
07:26How much is Jay Grom as a performer?
07:29You see him out there.
07:29He comes out there, and he has got his arms up, and the entire crowd is just absolutely with him.
07:34And this whole arena is on main event Jay Ushino's side.
07:37So his growth as a performer.
07:39And then, Jay, it's the first time you've won Tag Team Gold with somebody other than your
07:44brother.
07:44How does that feel?
07:45You look like you're 21 now.
07:56Man, look, man.
07:57It was how I never thought.
07:58Never.
07:59What?
08:00Like, what?
08:01Like, I'm in it.
08:02I'm in it.
08:03It was like, I don't know.
08:05Like, I'm rolling with you, man.
08:07I never, never in a million years.
08:10It was a good question.
08:11But, man, I'm excited.
08:13On me, though, if it was anyone, man, like, who else than the son of Dusty Rose, man?
08:19Like, come on, man.
08:21Like, I appreciate all.
08:22We're writing a story as it goes right now.
08:25Everybody want to be like, you know, what's the end story?
08:28I don't know.
08:28Just enjoy the story as it goes.
08:30I'm ready for the next chapter type stuff.
08:34Everybody watch a series and, you know, like, what's the next episode?
08:39Uh, plays in 10 seconds.
08:43Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
08:45You know, we keep it lit.
08:47Yeah.
08:48Appreciate it, though, man.
08:49But, man.
08:51Oh, man.
08:55That's my man.
08:56I, I, I'm, uh, the question.
08:59We veered away from it.
09:01What was the question?
09:03Oh, well, first off, so, okay, last year, going into WrestleMania,
09:10and there was this really strange discussion about, oh, my gosh,
09:14Sami Zayn is so hot.
09:16What do we do?
09:18What do we do?
09:20That's amazing.
09:21He's earned that.
09:22He has equity.
09:24He has grown.
09:25He has connected to the audience.
09:26He's connected with you.
09:28So, as someone who's trying to be the quarterback,
09:33as someone who's trying to be the lead dog,
09:36nothing could excite me more than seeing others who also,
09:42well, he might be the quarterback.
09:44He might be the lead dog.
09:46And we're talking Seth Rollins,
09:48main event J. Uso,
09:50L.A. Knight.
09:51I welcome it all.
09:53Let's, let's go, let's do this together.
09:55Again, we have the privilege of saying,
09:58this is the most successful era in the history of WWE.
10:01This is the same company that had the Attitude Era.
10:04But, it's us.
10:07So, I welcome it all.
10:09And seeing him go out there tonight,
10:11seeing his entrance first thing on the show,
10:13seeing people responding to him,
10:15seeing all of that,
10:17what it does when you come out is it makes me go,
10:20we got it.
10:22We got it.
10:22And I'm one of the most nervous individuals on earth,
10:25terrified.
10:26Every time I'm at the curtain,
10:27I want to run away.
10:28And then my music hits and I,
10:30okay, I'm out there.
10:32Oh, they're singing.
10:32And, okay, we're good.
10:33We're good.
10:34Seeing that, sorry.
10:36Seeing that makes me feel,
10:37we got this.
10:39Because he's earned it.
10:41You know?
10:42Who is the biggest,
10:44the biggest baby face star in WWE?
10:47Let's find out.
10:49Right?
10:49And I'm all for it.
10:50And this is just,
10:52such a treat that this happened.
10:54Again, he said,
10:55people probably lost money.
10:56It's not something I ever called happening,
10:58but we are blessed that it did.
11:01Feels like it's right.
11:02And it makes me want to step my game up,
11:06like, with him.
11:07Feel me?
11:08Yeah.
11:09You feel me?
11:10For real.
11:11Do you feel him, sir?
11:12I do.
11:14I feel your 20-year-old.
11:18I'll zoom in on my hair.
11:19If Sam can't learn to sense,
11:20I'm going to buy right now.
11:22That's probably the dreaded wrap-up.
11:23Q.
11:24Oh, you're going to wrap up?
11:24You don't want to do one more?
11:25You don't want to do a bonus question?
11:26Can we get a sax there?
11:27You want to do a bonus question?
11:28They got a main event coming up here.
11:31We know.
11:32Okay.
11:32They got a little bonus question over there, buddy.
11:34We literally do have a main event.
11:36They got a main event, James.
11:36They got a bonus question.
11:37Okay, bonus question.
11:38Talk to him.
11:40Look, look.
11:41He raises his hand.
11:41Right here, front row?
11:42Yes, sir.
11:42You had a real chill wave.
11:44I put your hand in there.
11:44You got your leg up.
11:45You got your leg up.
11:46Donnie Burgess, Network, Indiana.
11:49Oh, you're local?
11:50Yes, sir.
11:50I'm local.
11:52So you brought up the Nightmare...
11:53You brought up the Nightmare Factory earlier, Cody.
11:57Yes, sir.
11:58You're on NXT Tuesday.
12:00I am?
12:01Yes, sir.
12:02Just so you know.
12:04Who else is on it?
12:05A little bit of everybody.
12:07Is this Oscar?
12:08John Cena.
12:09John Cena?
12:11Oh, Matt saw the commercial that had some unique music at the end of it, too.
12:15But you obviously take a great love and passion for teaching the next generation.
12:21You brought up the Nightmare Factory earlier.
12:23You're in NXT Tuesday to visit and make a major announcement.
12:27But the question is, has the thought ever crossed your mind in the past year or so?
12:32Do you ever imagine you being the next Rhodes in NXT to teach that class?
12:40Jeez.
12:41The bonus question is supposed to be late.
12:43It's a great question.
12:46He was like, I have a good question.
12:49My manager can tell you this.
12:52When I came back to WB, I flat out told him I will never step foot in the Performance Center.
12:56And the reason was, not my dislike of the Performance Center, is he's everywhere in there.
13:03And I, that's hard, right?
13:07And then I ended up being in the Performance Center like a month later to do medical or something, you know.
13:11And I, okay, I went back on that.
13:13But I just want to go, I have a specific announcement that I want to bring.
13:21I'm excited to be there.
13:23I'm excited to see Shawn Michaels and what he's done.
13:27Carmelo Hayes is one of my favorite people.
13:29Trick, I mean, the whole, it's an impressive, impressive, impressive group.
13:35I don't think that's in the cards for me.
13:37But here's the thing.
13:39I have probably told you guys a bazillion things and somehow ended up in that exact spot.
13:46So, I, I don't know.
13:48Dusty taught communication.
13:50He taught promos.
13:51He called it communication.
13:53No one really filled that spot after he left.
13:57I always thought somebody like a Mick Foley or somebody would fill that spot.
14:00Somebody who's been there and did it, you know.
14:04But I am not going to teach them anything.
14:06I'm going to be there with them and, and, and just enjoy it and have a little fun.
14:11It's outside my comfort zone.
14:12And I'm genuinely terrified of, of, is that Fulsa, right?
14:17Fulsa?
14:17He?
14:18You got out of L. Wayne.
14:19Wait.
14:20Who?
14:21But, I'm a little terrified of it.
14:24But, I'm, you know, we're in a crazy time for, for, for our industry.
14:29And I'm excited for my announcement and to be able to bring that to the NXT universe and sports entertainment fans and wrestling fans.
14:39Great bonus question.
14:41Hard question.
14:42Well, the bonus question is out of the way so we can allow you guys to, for you, this evening, our new undisputed WWE.
