On Santana:

“For the last two months, I have been singing the praises of Santana and what he was doing for TNA and carrying the flag and representing TNA as the champion, a fighting champion. Someone who wears his heart on his sleeve and the emotions are there and it’s really easy for fans to get behind him… He’s changed his life for his daughter, his family, and it’s like, man. I’m trying to fight this guy and hate his guts and I go, ‘I’m behind you.'”

On Santana’s NXT Debut:

“Then he shows up on NXT and I cannot stress enough how that just seems right. It just seems right now, this time and place, Santana showing up at NXT, after the main event, looking at the champ, I go, ‘This is the perfect time for him to hit NXT, possibly run that damn place.'”
