Here are some highlights:
On WWE ambitions:
“Absolutely. WWE was my goal when I set out to become a wrestler, and that hasn’t changed. I’ve been grafting hard so when the opportunity comes, I’ll be ready.”
On the grind of British wrestling:
“The travel’s definitely the toughest part, because it knocks onto everything else. You’re up late on the road, grabbing food where you can, then you’re straight back into training the next day. Trying to balance all of that isn’t easy. But that’s the job, and if you want to make it you’ve got to crack on, no excuses.”
On the uncertainty around NXT Europe:
“It’s always disappointing when a pathway like that disappears, but I don’t think you can rely on one option. The indie scene in the UK and across Europe is thriving right now, and there are plenty of international companies to aim for. For me, it’s about working hard, building momentum, and making enough noise that the bigger opportunities come.”
Tommy also opened up about some of his funniest fan interactions, his most bizarre backstage encounter, his dream match with AJ Styles, and much more. You can check out the complete interview at this link.
