Sonjay Dutt Accepts In-Ring Career Is Over, AJ Befumo Picks Favorite Wrestler, More AEW News
Yesterday at 12:55 AM
Sonjay Dutt says he's come to terms with the fact that his in-ring career is over.
The AEW star finished his full-time in-ring career in 2017 due to an injury and currently performs as an on-screen manager for Jeff Jarrett, Satnam Singh, and Jay Lethal.
During a recent interview with Mike Jones, Dutt was asked if he had accepted the fact that his in-ring career is over.
Dutt said, "I have totally made peace with that. I made peace with that towards the last couple of years of me being an in-ring competitor. Injuries catch up and life changes you. I have a wife and two kids. I tore my Achilles, and my shoulder was in bad shape."
He continued, "It was just a whirlwind of everything that happened at the perfect time to where I transitioned and started learning more and more about the backstage production aspect and the office roles. Everything happens for a reason. No complaints."
Big Boom! AJ Befumo was recently asked about his all-time favorite wrestler, and the TikTok star named a tag team.
During a recent appearance on the “Criss Cross Adventures” podcast, Befumo was asked to name his favorite wrestler, and instead, The Costco Guy went with a legendary tag team.
AJ said, "Favorite wrestler of all time? Gotta be the Legion of Doom. Road Warrior Animal, Road Warrior Hawk. What a rush. Bring the boom."
