On NXT switching to 2.0:
"For me, I got very lucky with 2.0 coming up because the way NXT ran in the past, you weren't going to see Grayson Waller on TV for years just because that's how the system was working at the time. I was on 205 LIVE doing things on that, which was fun. I was getting to have matches every week which is always great to have reps. But when 2.0 kind of came in and there was a shift from strictly in-ring work to more entertainment and character work, that was perfect for me. I was like, 'Give me a shot.'"
"I still remember I wrestled Roderick Strong for the Cruiserweight Championship very early on. I came backstage and Shawn was there, who obviously I have a little history with me now, and I said to Shawn to his face, like, 'Give me the ball. If you give me the ball, I will run with it and I'll give you exactly what you need', which is a very ballsy thing for someone to say to Shawn Michaels, you know what I mean? I was kind of in the moment after Roderick Strong slapped me for 20 minutes, but he gave me the ball and I think we all saw what I did with it."
