Brian Cage Reveals His Current Goals, Wants To ‘Brand Out and Do More’ on His Own

AEW and ROH wrestler Brian Cage recently sat down with Insight with Chris Van Vliet to discuss his career and his goals following his recent AEW in-ring return.

Brian Cage Reveals His Current Goals

“I definitely want to branch out and do more on my own, for sure, because I know we’ve had a couple squash matches. I did stuff with Lance, I just did that one tag match with [Jake] Doyle, I do have a couple of different ideas. I do want to incorporate more of this winning this bodybuilding show. I mean the whole while too, I’ve always wanted to do more like solo stuff, because I feel like that’s how I get my stuff in. I feel like that’s how I stand out more, and there’s a plethora, and I think I said this on the last interview, too. There’s so much I feel like I haven’t done in AEW, especially compared to my time in Lucha Underground and Impact. Anywhere else, I feel like I’ve done so much more.”

On If He till Wants the AEW World Title

“Oh, of course. But I mean, I guess even then, well, we have so many titles there. I mean, I’ll take whatever I can get. You know what I do really want to be part of this year, for sure, is the Continental Classic. Obviously, that’s not until the end of the year, but that’s something definitely I want to. I would love to build up enough repertoire to have an awesome Continental Classic run by the end of the year. ”

On What He Needs To Get To That Level

“I don’t know, and everybody goes, ‘Oh, you need someone to talk for him.’ I go look, am I Ric Flair on the mic? No, I’m not. But there’s plenty of great promos I’ve done, there’s plenty of good promos I’ve done. I just haven’t got to do that many promos. Every time they put a promo on social media, on anywhere, because remember we’re tracking this too, for a while. But every time, too, originally it was like that was Brian Cage’s best promo. I go, that’s funny, every time I cut a promo, it’s my best promo. So is it the fact that I can’t cut a promo, or is the fact that I just don’t get to cut that many promos? There’s a difference between not getting to hear me talk and not being able to talk.

“Am I as good as MJF? Obviously not, but I can do much better, I think, than people realize to give me credit for it. Again, just because there’s never any legs to it, too. Because if I’m just cutting a good promo for the one off match or this or that, that’s great, but then it’s here and gone. Five star matches on the independents or on AEW are great, but if it’s just a flash in the pan awesome match for no reason, it’s awesome, but then there’s no membranes of it. Because you can have a four star match with an amazing build and program that will be a lasting memory, as opposed to a freaking killer five star match that was just for no reason.”

Brian Cage recently returned to AEW TV last month after being sidelined with a knee injury. He also appears along with Lance Archer in the opening scene of Steven Spielberg’s new movie, Disclosure Day, which is now playing in theaters.
