Atlantis Jr. reflects on capturing the Ring of Honor World Television Title from Kyle Fletcher in Mexico.
Atlantis Jr. had a 106-day run with the Ring of Honor World TV Championship before losing it to Brian Cage at AEW WrestleDream: Zero Hour. Now, he is reflecting on his reign with the championship and what it meant for him to hold a championship belt representing a major American promotion.
Atlantis Jr. told Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp during a recent interview that he had always wanted to win a championship in America. He also says that he would like to get a rematch with Brian Cage for the championship in his home country of Mexico and that he'd be grateful to be given another title opportunity in All Elite Wrestling.
"It was a very good experience and a moment that I won’t forget. I’m a champion in Mexico, but I wanted to have a United States Champion. Now that CMLL has that audience with MLW and AEW, I wanted to have an important match. I went to the United States and said, ‘Can I have a title match?’ CMLL and AEW said, ‘Okay. If you are prepared, you can have a match.’ I challenged Kyle Fletcher for the TV Title in Mexico City. I won. If you watch my match, my face was like, [surprised look]. I won the title and now wrestlers come to Mexico or I go to the United States to defend it. It’s a moment I will never forget. I had matches with superstars of AEW and Ring of Honor. I lost the title to a superstar in Brian Cage. I want to rematch in Mexico. If I win the title in Mexico, it’s the Mexican Title now. I want to bring another title to Mexico City. If AEW gives me another opportunity for a tag team or an AEW championship, I’d be very happy. I want to approach that audience because I want to grow every day."
