"I don't give a f*** take my spot. I do not give a sh*t, I told Tony Khan, like the owner of AEW, I said before I went up there, I was like, 'I don't need a championship. I'm already winning in life. Like, there's no nothing that compares to this,'" he said [59:00 to 59:31]

The 32-year-old added that he had informed Tony Khan before the expedition that he did not want to hold a championship in the company. Instead, he wanted to pursue his lifelong dream while at the peak of his health.
