"What an amazing year ! 2023 is going to bring more hardships , more money, and more happiness . I got a world title this year but I lost so much in the process . In 2022 I worked hard for a few months and I got to where I needed to be."

The American wrestler continued:

"Anything is possible with work ethic ,the right mindset, and having people you can trust around you. Thank you so much life for this wonderful year and looking forward to spending another year with you! HAPPY NEW YEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS!"
