The Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona) are interested in the AEW & ROH Tag Team Championships.
During a recent appearance on the “WrestleMobs” podcast, Kaun expressed his desire to go after the belts. He said,
“Toa and I want those tag belts. Both of them. The Ring of Honor and AEW [titles]. I don’t know if they’re really recently defending these tag titles, so why don’t you give us some opportunities? Because I’m down to be the workhorse. We want to wrestle every week. We want to be those people. This is what we work so hard for.”
He continued, “When Toa and I met, we talked for like three hours. I like, I like this guy. Him and I have the same mentality, hard work’s gonna pay off. I know that when we’re not being used, we’re both probably pulling two-a-days. I wake up, train in the morning, wrestling training at night. I am ready for whenever there’s opportunity, and then get the opportunity, and that’s why we knock out of the park. I always look at Twitter and stuff, people are like, ‘These guys look fucking awesome. Why are they not on TV? These guys look like stars. They knock it out of the park every time.’”
Claudio Castagnoli will be taking part in the CMLL Grand Prix, and he says he’s planning to prove that he “speaks lucha libre.” He said,
“CMLL, Claudio Castagnoli is coming back for the Grand Prix, representing Team World, representing AEW, representing Switzerland, representing the Blackpool Combat Club. I’m gonna be real with you. Last year, I don’t think it’s been my best. I’ve been doubting myself, I’ve been unsure. Then I took a pilgrimage, and I came to the cathedral [Arena México] for the first time, and I saw the light. I saw the light.”
He continued, “Now, I may not speak Spanish, but I do speak lucha libre, and I think I’ll do it better than anybody else. I will prove it to you at the Grand Prix. You’ll be eliminated.”
The CMLL Grand Prix takes place on August 23rd at Arena Mexico.
