The statement reads as follows:
Claudio was all I hoped to find in the ring and even more so; arguably more than even he knows lies still within him. Fights like these are something that will get me grab my boots and travel to any corner of the globe. I live for it.
Thank AEW for providing such field of battle for us to wage war. It was a pleasure and doubly so to do it in my hometown.
Claudio Castagnoli, we’ll meet again my friend. Keep raising the bar, because I’ll always be waiting.
Onward into countless battles
