BDE spoke on appeared on Insight With Chris Van Vliet about how the match came about and his history with Francis, who he previously faced at Wrestling Revolver. He also revealed the names for his finishers. You can see highlights below:

On How His Match With AJ Francis Came Together:

“Honestly, that’s above my pay grade. I just get booked in these matches. I just get surprised every time. But I think it just came together because the Bound for Glory spot that we had, eliminating him from the Call Your Shot gauntlet. I think it just led to that. We have a lot of history from the indies as well, so I think that was just a way of seeing how I could hang in a one-on-one.”

On Francis Being Able to Make Opponents Look Good:

“He does not get enough credit. He really doesn’t. I completely agree.”

On If He Has a Name For His Finisher:

“Yeah, yeah. So the Knee of Glory, that’s like the running knee. The frog splash, I call it the Fall From Glory. And now we just named the springboard cutter, the Clip Cutter. The Clip Cutter. I was trying to figure out a name for it for a while, but I was like, I’ll just leave it until I find something I like. And then it was actually at TNA last week where I came up with it, and I was like, that’s staying, I like that.”
