"I remember talking to Paul Heyman. Paul was really invested in what me and Bobby were doing and he was the first one to kinda coach me through that first promo that I did on Monday Night RAW. He had told me that Vince wanted to talk to me about it. I remember going into Vince’s office and he said that he wanted me to be Bobby’s hype man and I didn't know what that meant. It was a crazy time for me and things moved so quickly," said Lio Rush.
