During a recent chat with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, Paul recalled his interaction with WWE boss Vince McMahon in the immediate aftermath of the aforementioned WrestleMania moment.
"I go backstage, we shook hands, it was the good old stepdad Vince thing. He’s like, he goes, ‘trust me, your future is here!’ I was like, ‘cool, sure,'" Paul said. “That’s Vince McMahon. He’s a legend. Him being excited about, you know, the new guy’s performance, it’s so validating. Like, even just the response and feedback online after the match, haters or lovers, not one negative comment, man. I think people were surprised by my performance and I’m so grateful that they liked it.”
