AEW star Roderick Strong recently spoke with Chris Van Vliet on a number of topics including how he feels competing on the same card that will feature “The Icon” Sting’s retirement match.
Strong said, “I mean, it’s a big honor. And to be going against somebody like Orange Cassidy. Whatever we have going on aside he’s been a tremendous champion. I mean, he’s just an amazing wrestler and a great human. So it’s just one of those things that the right opponent at the right time. And, I haven’t wrestled as much as I thought I was going to my first year, and I’m okay with it. This gives me an opportunity to kind of blow the door open because people don’t really know exactly what to expect of me in these kinds of matches. I haven’t been in a big match like this in quite some time. So I’m very excited to show the world and I get to do it on the same show as Sting in his last match.”
