Summary

“Vanilla Baby” Blake Christian talks finding his lane in AEW, teaming with Lee Johnson as Swirl, seizing big opportunities vs Swerve Strickland & Will Ospreay and Paragon (Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly), and using ROH as his proving ground. He breaks down the viral “Vanilla Baby” moment that caught Tony Khan’s attention, the GCW heat that sharpened his character, the nursing-school detour that ultimately landed him at AEW, and even the wild karaoke performance during All In weekend instigated by Speedball Mike Bailey! Plus, Blake shares what NJPW's Best of Super Juniors taught him about pace and presence, and the match that made him think, “I belong here.” AEW Unrestricted is sponsored by Upper Deck Authenticated 2025 AEW Monumental.
