EVOLVE’s Antony Henry recently spoke to Jeremy Lambert of Fightful and discussed being on the WWE Network for the 10th Anniversary of EVOLVE special event over the summer and why he feels WWE is the next logical step in his career.
Below are some highlights.
Anthony Henry talks EVOLVE’s 10th Anniversary:
“It was literally maybe two weeks before the show that we found out it was going to be on WWE Network. I didn’t necessarily have the opportunity to process it. I’m not overly emotional, usually. I’m level-headed about most things, even big things for most people that would like send them into a frenzy, I’m just like ‘Oh, that’s cool.’ That was my mindset going into it. ‘Oh, that’s pretty cool, hopefully, the right people are watching and then some opportunities will come from it.’ It really didn’t settle in for me until I had my match, it was over, I got great responses, and once I got to the back, it hit me like a ton of bricks all at once. I realized what had just happened, what I did, and what we did. I just fell to my knees and, I’ve never been someone to happy cry, but everything came out. Everyone came up to me and was congratulating me and telling me how awesome it was. They were like, ‘Are you okay?’ I said, ‘I’m good. I’m just happy.’ It was surreal to realize, 16 years in the business, regardless if I make it to WWE later on, I’m on WWE Network. You can’t take that away from me.”
