Haven’t been in the ring with me 20 minutes yet so let’s see. I feel like down the line, that’s gonna be something that’s very interesting. I think he’s a super exciting talent and yeah, very much looking forward to seeing what he’s gonna do in the next year. I think he’s got the potential to be a big superstar in this company, be one of the pillars down the line.”
