Roderick Strong was able to keep his AEW debut a secret, and explains why that surprise was such a big deal for him. He talks about the Falls Count Anywhere match with Chris Jericho that included the return of Adam Cole, a killer ice cream spot, and the use of some violent Texas trash cans. He recounts his original ROH feud with Samoa Joe and what it meant to get back in the ring with him in a singles match for the first time in 17 years. He discusses his injury and rehab, his decision to return to the wrestling, and the banger of a match he had with his 5-year-old son in a bouncy house! Plus, Roddy speaks to training with Jim Neidhart, having his Killswitch Engage entrance theme again, his rivalry with Bryan Danielson, and the importance of family and gratitude.
