He added, “I’m in my ideal situation. I have a beautiful family. I’m healthy. I’m not afraid of dying of cardiac arrest in the ring. My substance abuse issues are in the past. Sh*t happens, but I’m healthy. I get to wrestle in AEW on Dynamite, and nobody’s up my a**.”

The 37-year-old is in great shape now and puts on top-notch matches in AEW. Moreover, he is a locker room leader as his new contract states he has taken mentorship and coaching roles alongside being an in-ring performer.
