It was special, and I love when wrestling can deliver those heartfelt, real, genuine moments, because it can be a cliche about family and brotherhood, But for those guys, that brotherhood is real. And it also makes me think back to, so when I first met Jimmy in FCW in 2009, I remembered he would always say, okay, you think I'm good now? Wait for my brother, he's coming, he's coming.

Y'all ain't seen nothing yet. When my brother comes, it's gonna be a force. And those guys, look, they grew up in a wrestling family, obviously Rikishi and whatnot. But they were never just granted the keys to the kingdom. It was never, they're not silver spoon guys. You know, they came to FCW making $500 a week, you know, barely scraping things together to pay their bills.

And, and when Jay did finally get to FCW, those guys were off and running and they weren't there long. They were up to the main roster, making their debut very, very quickly with Tamina. Shout out to Tamina. She's a lovely human being.

For me, I think what makes it selfishly even more special is knowing the journey, the journey of what Jay's been through, the ups and downs. Obviously, those guys, when I was with the New Day, the battles that we had, we earned so much respect from those guys. We already had it. But just knowing that we all saw the business much the same.

We all had a similar perspective of what we want to do, what kind of legacy we want to leave. And it can be so hard to break out of, hey, you're a tag team guy, especially as twins. Like, we don't talk enough about that. When people, they just see you as a package. It's just you two.

But for them to be able to break out on their own, to Jay have this run, to be 0-3 against Gunther, who is just a monster, a guy who does not... drop titles very quickly. He has incredible 666 day runs in NXT UK, I think like 1,000 days, something incredible.

To overcome all those odds, to overcome the criticism online, I think for me, when I see that moment of Jay with that title, with his twin brother, with one of his best friends, the feels, man. It is very real, cuz I know the journey.
