The Mexican pro wrestler then added that instead of focusing on their careers and helping each other grow, he and Paige spent more time partying and hanging out with friends, who were not the best company to have.
“But instead of that, we used our time to do stupid stuff. To party, to hang out with not good companies, not good people, sorry, not companies, not good people. It is what it is. We could have, should have, would have, you know.”
