As much as it pains you hypocrites to admit it, there’s only one horse to place your bet on, and you’re looking at him. I’ve been looking at MVP’s card. If I want a shot at Jon Moxley, perhaps I need a little clique of my own. The last time I had a partner, I got burned pretty bad. But as far as your offer, I’ll have an answer for you next week. But the time for me to smile over popped champagne, well, that’s just begun.”
