Big Boom! AJ says doing what love comes naturally.
Big Boom! AJ retired from wrestling in 2005. He returned to the ring for a one-off in 2021 and signed a one-match deal with AEW in 2024. AJ defeated QT Marshall at AEW Full Gear: Zero Hour, and many fans buzzed about how AJ hadn't lost a step.
In an interview with Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp, Big Boom! AJ commented on wrestling coming naturally to him.
"When you're doing what you love, it just happens naturally. I've always loved pro wrestling. I grew up in the New York metropolitan area, so we had wrestling everywhere. So I was going to shows every month and I just always loved pro wrestling. It was always a part of me. So getting the opportunity to come back, have Big Justice with us, have Mama Justice, have Ashley, everyone right there. So it just all came back to me very, very naturally. It all came back naturally and then also with the experience we've had over the last year on TikTok and YouTube and Instagram, it really raised our level. So we were really right at home. I was able to bring the boom right from the start," AJ said.
