He added that he was very sad about the fact that this was supposed to be a great last run teaming with his brother but setbacks happen in life and he tries to remain positive.

Here's what he had to say:

"I had a great conversation with Tony Khan today, just talked with him a little bit so we’ll see. We’ve got a few weeks to work on stuff so I’m just excited for it. It’s very disappointing and heartbreaking that I’m not going to be teaming with my brother. We want to have this last great run or whatever but I’m going to make the most out of whatever opportunity I am given. I will be positive and optimistic as always.” [H/T Wrestling Inc]
