I show up when it matters. I get results when I need them. When they mean something.

This win means a couple things.

I felt lost after my Undisputed Title loss. It wasn't just that where I once had a singular focus and drive, I now had none, but there was also an underlying fear within me. A fear that my time was up, that I'd served my time as champion and that I'd float into irrelevancy, never to matter again in the UCA, to taste a big victory.

I've said it a hundred times and I'll say it again: I've worked hard to get where I am.

I didn't want that hard work to not matter anymore, and that's where Solio came in.

My initial assumption was that my fears had manifested in front of me. An old veteran would come in, and use his brand name appeal and stories of times past to shoot past me, certainly undeserved, and he wouldn't be the first.

That's why I challenged him to prove himself, and played the gatekeeper role. If he could show that he was still hungry, still willing to put in the time and not coast on his name, then I would've had no problem taking a loss there.

He did just that, and yet, I came out on top.

That fear after that championship match loss is no longer present. I know I can still compete, know that with continued hard work I can still be at the top, still win meaningful matches, and eventually, become champion again.

I also know now that there are cases where superstars from the past still care, and are ready to be here day in and day out with the rest of us.

My immediate future is unclear, but I've never been more hopeful about our remaining time in this company.
