Claudio Castagnoli Praises Bryan Danielson, Eric Young On Sanity’s Downfall

In a recent interview with “Sports Illustrated,” Claudio Castagnoli discussed facing Bryan Danielson in a tag team match on tonight’s Title Tuesday special edition of AEW Dynamite.

Castagnoli will team up with PAC to face Danielson and Wheeler Yuta on tonight’s show.

You can check out some highlights from the interview below:

Claudio Castagnoli on stepping into the ring against Bryan Danielson tonight: “It’s gonna be very emotional. I was in Bryan’s last match before, when he was forced to retire. It was a tag match as well, and I was in it. It was in London, England. This, I think, will be on a little bit different terms. I mean, obviously like I said, it’s gonna be very emotional if that’s the last time I’m going to be standing across the ring from Bryan. It’s gonna be special.”

On how Danielson will never hold back: “Bryan is always trying to compete at the top of his abilities. He’s never gonna hold back. He’s always gonna leave every single thing that he has in the ring, no matter if that’s good or bad for his personal future.”

On Jon Moxley: “I feel he needed that time off to kind of reconnect with himself and find his purpose, so to speak, or regain his purpose. I can’t speak for Jon, but I felt like the last couple months before he came back, you know we always have the ‘Be Real’ on our shirts, I didn’t really feel real. It felt like, okay, we’re just kind of going through the motions.”

Bryan Danielson teams with Wheeler Yuta against Claudio Castagnoli and PAC on tonight’s AEW Dynamite Title Tuesday show. The live broadcast starts at 9:00 pm EST on TBS.

On a recent edition of the “Insight” podcast, Eric Young discussed his time in Sanity and how the faction’s move to the WWE main roster didn’t work out as expected.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

Eric Young on Sanity: “NXT was … I never wanted to leave I loved it, I loved the whole thing. Our debut was supposed to happen on SmackDown. We were supposed to do this thing with New Day on ‘SmackDown.’”

On WWE cutting an angle with Sanity and The New Day: “We’re literally standing in front of the curtain, we’re waiting for them to count us down and say, go, and they’re like ‘No, we’re cutting,’ and it’s heartbreaking. It was kind of the end before it even got started, you know? I don’t really know what happened.”

On Vince McMahon not getting the group: “We all know who that is, not allowed to say the name … [He] just kinda didn’t like it, kinda didn’t get it, although it was his choice to bring us up in the first place.”

On what happened to the group after that: “He was very complimentary, ‘Thank you for bringing this in, thank you for showing initiative.’ And then they sent Damo and Wolff back to NXT, and I got sent over to Raw and it got worse. I mean, I didn’t do anything. I didn’t make him mad, I didn’t have a bad match, I didn’t –- there’s nothing I did, he just decided that I wasn’t no good at whatever it was that I was doing.”
