Hello, wrestling fans and welcome back to NBC's 10 count. I'm Steve Fall on today's episode. I am

talking to Jonah. Jonah, how are you? I'm doing today. Good. How are you? I'm doing great. I'm talking

to you. It's kind of a rainy, drizzly day where I am, but happiness inside me because I'm talking

to you. So no complaints. That makes me happy as well that you know, that you're excited to be talking to me. It's sort of a little overcast and a big gray outside here in Florida, which usually isn't. So I was going to say, I lived in Florida for about three years. I went to full year, full cell university, went to college there. And every day at three o'clock, it rained out. Just a little bit. Every day at three o'clock, it rained out. And when I remember at first moving there, I'm like, is it going to rain out all the time? People are like, yes. Yeah, that's sort of what it is. Yeah. Even when it's at, it's like peak summertime and it's boiling hot outside, it'll just rain for about 20 minutes or 30 minutes. And then you'd just be very

to do this?

Because if you think about it, there aren't a lot of Australian wrestlers in the world. That's correct. Yeah, I was very

proud. I've always sort of carried that flag with me everywhere. I've gone, you know, I'm,

Australian wrestling was a big part of my career. And then, and then coming here and doing the things that I've done,

I've always wanted to represent Australian wrestling.

So when I got to NXT, the North American Championship was definitely a goal of mine,

as was the NXT Championship.

So to sort of tick that off and have people from back home,

whether it's fellow wrestlers, fans see that a fellow Australian is doing great things is always important to me. Yeah, I think that's a big, big thing because again, you bring up, I bring up Australian wrestlers. Like, it's, there's not a lot of them who end up putting a mark on the business like yourself. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. I mean, the scene back home is growing. It's always evolving,

getting better. But for the longest time, even when I started wrestling in 2007, it didn't seem
