- The Daily Star has an interview with Colt Cabana at this link, who discussed his WWE run, being a journeyman wrestler and more. He also talked about Daniel Bryan's success in WWE.
"I remember watching Daniel Bryan and Sheamus and even though it was 18 seconds, just watching Daniel go down that aisle, as I was watching that I was thinking of the times where I've wrestled with him in front of 30 or 50 people and those memories and those road stories and these travels that we've had," Cabana said. "It was weird that it was a moment to me, as it was his moment, but selfishly I took that moment to be proud of my friend."
