PAC has addressed his elimination from AEW’s Continental Classic, framing the exit as fuel rather than a failure. The former All-Atlantic and Trios Champion was eliminated from the tournament after losing to Kevin Knight on Collision. This flash pin followed a time-limit draw, and another match was disrupted by what he described as “a biter.” The combination left him with 7 points and outside the points needed to advance.
Speaking backstage after the loss, PAC questioned whether anyone should interpret the result as a decline. He listed the circumstances of his run and asked viewers if a sequence like that defined his status in AEW. He stressed perseverance as the immediate priority. He acknowledged the setback as part of the sport but said experience has taught him that momentum can shift fast.
“A flash pin, a biter, yeah, if you heard me correctly, a biter, and a time limit draw, and all of a sudden I’m eliminated from this competition. Well, let me ask you something: Do I look like a f***ing loser to you, hmm? Do I look like a f***ing loser? Nah, you see, search your gut, feel your instinct, I’m the real f***ing deal, and you know it, and I’ll tell you something, I’ll be back, I’ll bounce back, because perseverance and resilience are the cornerstone upon which I stand. So you can take your f***ing tournament, and you can shove it up your f***ing a**e, and f*** you, and f*** Christmas.”
While he did not outline a specific return plan or target, he made it clear that his focus is already on what comes next. For now, the Continental Classic is over for him, but the takeaway from his comments is that he will treat it as the start of his next pursuit rather than the end of his current one.
