Speaking to talkSPORT he said: “It’s not right is it really for the champ to come out first? I think we had a great ring walk. I was just soaking it up. We lit up the place. I was all business from the from the moment I left the dressing room. Once I was in that ring, it was no looking back now, it’s on. I didn’t really [watch AJ’s ring walk]. I heard it. It was sort of quiet, kind of lame. We definitely won the first battle in the ring walks.”
