Preston Vance discusses his goals.
Preston Vance previously had a prominent run in AEW as a member of the Dark Order. He later turned heel and joined La Faccion Ingobernable. Vancd was absent from AEW TV for a few months but he returned in August 2024. He has since competed on several episodes of ROH on HonorClub.
Speaking on Casual Conversations with The Classic, Preston Vance was asked to discuss his goals for the future.
“I love doing singles stuff because for example, my entire time in AEW, I’ve always been part of a group, which is awesome because I love being part of a group. But also, to be on your own, it’s scary, but it makes you want to work more because you don’t have anyone to lean on, it’s just you. Where before, I had these people, like in Dark Order, I had Brodie [Lee], like, ‘Hey, man, what’s going on with us?’ Or RUSH. So now it’s like, this is all you, and I like that. It’s much harder, but it forces you to work harder. So I love it. I love doing Ring of Honor stuff. I want to do every show. I’m not picky. I want to do Ring of Honor, Collision, Dynamite, Rampage, literally everything. I love AEW. I think it’s awesome what Tony [Khan] has built, and it’s so good for wrestling fans and wrestlers as well. I’m very grateful for Tony, he’s an amazing boss. I really do like doing Ring of Honor because I never really was a Ring of Honor fan growing up because I didn’t know what it was. Now when I go back and look at Ring of Honor stuff, I’m like, man, this is awesome. I would love to do something with Mark Briscoe for the ROH Title because it’s the ROH Title, and Mark Briscoe’s the man. That’s one thing I would love to check off the bucket list. I would love to, my main goal, I’ve said this on every title for the past three years, it’s the TNT Title. That’s simply an ode to Brodie. So I think that’s number one and always will be number one to me. That’s the most important title, just knowing how I got here was because of Brodie. So I think it’d be a cool story that kind of came full circle," Vance said.
The interview was recorded before the October 23 episode of AEW Dynamite, where Chris Jericho beat Mark Briscoe to win the ROH World Championship.
In August, Vance announced that he was taking independent bookings. More information is available here.
