Yes. And I thought we did a very good job of making that very entertaining. Had some moments in there that are really cool. I had the opportunity to work Shane McMahon, an awesome guy. Freaking love him. No one is more dedicated to perfection than Shane McMahon. Ask The Undertaker. He'll tell you. And I respect the heck out of that.
And the stuff that he does, like he's still doing a shoot and start press. Are you kidding me? He beats himself up. Man, so much respect for Shane. Freaking love him. That was a great match.

Well, it wasn't that he was pitching it. He just wanted to perfect it. Whatever we were doing, he wanted to make sure it was spot on every time. And you've got to respect that. I mean, that's what I want. And then be able to bounce some stuff off of him that, you know, the guy could fight for real.

So he was able to put a little bit of that stuff that he knew, a little bit of jiu-jitsu that he's taken, and make it work. It was really a fun match, man. Really unexpected, I think, for fans to see us have such a good match together.

That's a tough one. Are we talking about mine or a moment in wrestling that... The one that you've been involved in. Well, I think it may have been the Shane McMahon match because I'm working Shane McMahon. Who would have thought that AJ Styles would be working Shane McMahon in a match? I believe it was the first match of WrestleMania, which was perfect.

And to have such a great match and so much fun and be able to get to know a guy, man, that was really, really awesome. I mean, don't get me wrong, walking out in front of, what, 101,000 people your first WrestleMania? Yeah. Is it so shabby?

But I guess one of the most proud of matches that is probably with Shane. because it was so good, I thought, and entertaining.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I think it would have been really good because just doing that cinematic match that we had, we didn't go over this match or whatever we were doing. We didn't go step by step. We just kind of did it, and we never had to do it twice.

Yeah. That really was. And it just, we didn't have to do a second take. So for us to have that kind of chemistry, what would it have been like if it were in the ring? You know? So it was fun. I think that it, it happened the way it was supposed to, you know, he got the match that he thought really stuck out and it did. Yeah. That's another, that's another match, man. Like,

That's a WrestleMania moment, the more I think about it. not a, not a, not everybody likes it. Cinematic matches, you know, usually they don't do too well. And that one was done really well.

Uh, you know, I'll tell you the one of the coolest things is, is, uh, I was like, man, what do I give this guy as a gift to say thank you? And did you know that was his last match?
