Jon Moxley spoke on the Wrestling Observer Radio and said the following:
"I'm super biased because it's my best friend and I love Bryan. I believe Bryan is the greatest wrestler that has ever lived. Tell me he's not. He's the fucking man, and I love Eddie so much. I was fucking hyped. When me and Eddie have big matches, we basically corner each other. The presence of Eddie makes me better. Sometimes gets a little hyped up and he hypes me up too much when I'm trying to stay zen. I was like, 'I'm going to corner Eddie for this match.' I didn't go out to the ring with him, but I'm there with him until he goes through the curtain. I'm watching him go through his process. His process is slightly different from mine, but he gets into his own zone and it's a similar thing where it has to become real to him," Jon Moxley said. (h/t: Fightful Select)

"We walk to Gorilla, Bryan walks out, I grab Eddie by the shoulders and I said, 'Look at this stupid Whole Foods shopping vegan mother*****r, beat his f**king a**!' I could see it in Eddie's eyes.
