Teddy Long spoke on Sportskeeda’s Wrestling Time Machine about his experience at WWE Raw XXX this past Monday night.
Teddy Long talking about being at RAW XXX:
“It’s always great to go back to the WWE, you know, that’s my home. Okay, I’ll put it like that. Just to be able to see some of the guys that I had the chance to work with and see they’re still around. I had a chance to talk to Taker, seeing Triple H and all those guys. You know, a lot of it reminded me so much of the Attitude Era. A lot of segments that they did last night was kind of like the Attitude Era. So I mean, I really enjoyed myself. I sat down, me and Ron Simmons and JBL, and we watched all the matches, and we just had a great time man.”
Teddy Long said he spoke with Sami Zayn:
“I pulled Sami to the side last night and I told him. I said, ‘brother, you got it. You got it.’ I said, ‘you got it.’ I said “I ain’t blowing smoke up your ass.’ I said I don’t do this. If I pull you off and tell you something, I’m telling you because I see it…I said, ‘you’re just real’ and that makes it all the better when you’re real and I told him those words last night. Sami Zayn is gonna be the next big Superstar if they push him right.”
On if WWE should stick with their plans for Roman Reings to wrestle Cody Rhodes, The Rock or an outsider like Steve Austin, Long said that it’s “too quick” for Sami vs. Roman but the match should be built up so he can be ready for Roman.
Teddy Long’s prediction on who will win this year’s Royal Rumble:
“Omos. How do you not recognize a big guy like that? He may not win it, but like I said, we never know, so I predict him.”
