WWE Cruiserweight Champion TJ Perkins spoke with ESPN about his career. During the interview, Perkins was asked about Triple H revealing the WWE Cruiserweight Title during the finale of the Cruiserweight Classic.
“That was beyond words how crazy that was,” Perkins said. “You could kind of tell, I don’t know how the sound translated on the broadcast, but the building was literally shaking, and people were going nuts. I’ve never seen people go so nuts for a little bit of hardware, but it’s a pretty prestigious thing. From the moment the bell rang at the end, all I could think about was everything I went through to get there,” Perkins said. “About collecting coins in the parking lot when I was homeless, being evicted, you know, all these different things, and I think it was at that moment with Triple H and Mr. Regal that it [felt real].”
Perkins is representing the cruiserweight division as champion. Perkins believes that there is a good roster in the division and looks forward to being champion.
“It’s really exciting to be able to represent the cruiserweights and go to Monday Night Raw. I grew up watching Monday Night Raw, and it’s really a big dream of mine to perform on that stage,” Perkins said. “The talent there is so incredible. I’m in good company, and I’m excited for it.”
