Jay Lethal recently spoke about his relationship with AEW personality Sonjay Dutt. He also revealed his initial reaction to working with the former IMPACT Wrestling Superstar.
The former Ring of Honor World Champion and Dutt first featured as a duo at the Supercard of Honor event on April 01, 2022. They attacked current ROH World Champion Jonathan Gresham on the show after the latter's match against Bandido.
Speaking on Casual Conversations, the 36-year-old star shared that he was initially shocked that management asked him to team up with Dutt. However, Jay noted that it made perfect sense since the two are always seen together backstage.
“That idea was presented to me and it was quite a shock to me when it was presented,” said Lethal. “All I can really think of is the fact that we’re always together, we ride to the shows together. I just think it’s a case of, everyone sees us together, and they know that we’re real-friend friends and they’re like man, these two would be cool together." - (H/T WreslteZone)
