– During a recent edition of Battleground Podcast, AEW star Nick Wayne discussed working with Christian Cage in The Patriarchy and Adam Copeland in AEW. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):
Nick Wayne on being mentored by two of his favorites in Adam Copeland and Christian Cage: “It’s just unreal. I was once asking Sting and now [I’m] asking Christian, ‘Please, watch my matches and just tear me apart with critiques because I want to get better.’ So it’s great to hear what they have to say and, of course, they’re some of the best to do it. Everywhere they’ve gone, they’ve succeeded in their careers, and I want to do the same thing. So it truly is an honor for me to just have them as a mentor and be under their learning tree.”
On aligning with Christian: “Ever since I aligned myself with Christian, [I’ve] been looked at as something very serious and a standout act on AEW. Being under his wing, and being there on TV with Christian, just kind of raised my value, in a way, on TV.”
Wayne competed in the Trios Ladder Match last Sunday at AEW All In: London 2024 at Wembley Stadium. He and Patriarchy teammates Killswitch and Christian Cage lost the match, which was won by PAC and the Blackpool Combat Club. Other teams in the match included the Bang Bang Gang and The House of Black.
