AEW World Tag Team Champions Private Party (Zay and Quen) appeared on The Battleground podcast to talk about a number of topics, including on if Quen thought at the time what their win meant for their legacy.
Quen said, “Honestly, I didn’t think of it like that. I just thought of it like, about damn time, we did it. So legacy, this proves it. This right here is the legacy. This is what we’ve been striving for, this is what we wanted since we were training in a boxing gym. This is everything. You ever think of those guys that want to climb mountains and how they feel when they finally got to the top of the mountain? That’s how we feel. We made the climb. We’re on top of the mountain.”
Zat on the title win:
“It’s pretty rewarding, knowing the fact that we are in history. We solidified our names in history, and to be along names like the Young Bucks and FTR and Sting, Darby [Allin] and Kenny Omega and Adam Page, our names are aligned with all those guys. So it kind of solidifies us as at the top. We’re now part of that conversation as top tag teams because we have this gold around our shoulders.”
Quen on Jon Moxley’s war with AEW:
“Right now, we’re in a tough spot because when Moxley declared war, we were kind of up in the front, like we [were] ready to go to war for AEW. Not saying we’re not gonna go to war for AEW. We kind of got a little sidetracked, though. But we’re still paying attention to everything that’s gonna happen. So I would say as far as Moxley goes, just like we did [with] The Elite, we get his ass out.”
Zay on the Death Riders storyline:
“I feel like Moxley has good intentions, but it’s just the way he’s going about it. Everybody loves AEW. I know Moxley definitely loves AEW. We want the best for AEW ultimately, but it’s just the way he goes about it. We don’t agree with what he’s doing to accomplish that goal, and I kind of compare it to the Civil War, with Avengers, Iron Man and Captain America, they both had ideas to make the world better, both had their own views on it. It’s just the way, how they went about it. They all want the best, but that’s just the way how they want to go about it. I think that’s what we’re dealing with now, the friction between AEW and the Death Riders. We all want the best for AEW, but it’s just the way we go about it, and I don’t agree, and I’m pretty sure a lot of people agree with me, I don’t agree with what Moxley and his crew are doing to reach that goal. If Moxley brings his ass over here again, we’ll beat his ass up.”
