"Christian is an off-shoot. I was coming off an idiotic dumb season of NXT, coming off an injury, he was coming off an injury, a weird hook-up and kinda work out in the ring at FCW and one thing is like, in two weeks with him I learned more with him than I ever learned from like 90% of the coaches over there."
