– Kelani Jordan spoke to Fox News ahead of her first-ever PLE tonight:
“I never thought that I would even be in the WWE. Even being here is crazy,” she said. “But also being in the PLE after starting only a little over a year ago and having my debut match about 6 or 7 months ago on Level Up, words can’t explain how honored I am to show that, hey, I’m in a major PLE after this amount of time.
– Jon Moxley’s recently spoke to Doc Chris Mueller of Bleacher Report. During the interview, he discussed fatherhood’s impact on his life.
“By the time I had a kid, I was already a veteran of this,” Moxley said. “I was already paying the price physically for a lot of the s–t I did in my younger years. I was already at the stage where I was telling younger kids ‘You might not have to do that move every single night because you’re going to pay for it in 10 years.’ I already became the kind of guy who was aware of my own mortality by the time I had a child, so it really didn’t change anything. If anything, it made me appreciate it more and want to do a better job.
“Now everything I’m doing, I’m setting an example. I have a lot of young people that I coach and people that I work with, and I got young kids in Cincinnati I teach wrestling to. I’ve got a lot of people that are looking at me, so if I go out there and don’t work hard or take anything for granted or don’t take the kind of advice I would give to my daughter, if whatever I would tell her doesn’t match up with what I did, there would be a problem there.
“If anything [fatherhood] just made me appreciate life more and made me want to do this for as long as I can. I don’t know if she will ever get to watch me do it live and in person. She’s two and a half. When I look at some of my main rivals like Chris Jericho and Minoru Suzuki, they’re still going hard and still at the top of their game, so I think I’ve got a lot of years left. I don’t plan on ever retiring. At some point, I will just get too old to do it.”
