While speaking to RJ City on Hey! (EW), Cardona discussed the catchphrase and revealed it's origins.

"Well, that was kind of the catchphrase of Ric Flair, I guess, times three, but it was also what I would say to girls in the club. Like, a hot girl would walk by and say, woo, woo, woo. It was so annoying. I said, I can use this on TV and get it over, and look what happened."

Cardona left WWE in 2020, and has become a staple of the US' independent wrestling scene since.

Elsewhere in the same interview, Cardona discussed dealing with cancer in his past. You can read more about that here.
