”Vince said I want you to start a group, and I want it to be like The Brood. And I went, okay. So I’m thinking three people, and he said who would that be? And I said Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley. No hesitation. Those are the two people that could make this a pretty cool group, I think.
He was kind of surprised by that. And that made me realize he didn’t understand what he had in those two. And I thought that was a shame.
So, I truly thought, this can be a vehicle. So hopefully, they just start getting more reps, and some more experience, and I think that’s essentially what it did. And then I got to feud [with] them for a year. So I got to be their babyface along with Rey [Mysterio], and when you got two babyfaces like us, chances are your heel group is gonna do okay. It’s still going, I think. So, you know, it worked.
But I’m proud of them. I’m super proud of them. I’m proud of Rhea. I’m proud of where she’s taken it and gone with it, and it’s exactly where I thought it could go.”
