Claudio Castagnoli says he’s okay with not being in the AEW World Championship picture these days.
While speaking to Sports Illustrated for a new interview, the Blackpool Combat Club member revealed why he’s not all that worried about not getting an opportunity to capture the AEW World Title.
On not being in the World Title picture: “Everybody should aspire to be the World Heavyweight Champion. I think I may have realized as I’m getting older, that that single-minded focus can actually be a big detriment to me. Not everybody is the main character. Not everybody can be the hero of the story. So to me, it is how can I make the most impact?”
On his current focus as a performer: “John Cena said it once to me, ‘You’re only as good as your last match,’ and I very much believe that. That’s very much how I approach every single match. Every single match I wanna be proud of and I feel I owe that to the people who follow my career, and I owe that to every single person tuning in for the first time or for the 100th time. When I’m in the ring, they just know they’re getting the best consistently.”
