Wheeler Yuta discusses what's next for the Blackpool Combat Club following Bryan Danielson's retirement.
Wheeler Yuta has decided, albeit begrudgingly, to join Jon Moxley's new vision for the BCC alongside Marina Shafir, PAC, and Claudio Castagnoli. With the group's new attitude in the wake of Bryan Danielson's defeat and retirement, the question remains: What are their goals now?
Appearing on the Mark Hoke Show, Yuta said he didn't want to give away too much regarding the group's future and plans moving forward. He did note that one part of the mission statement has remained the same: They want the AEW roster to be better.
“I can’t really reveal the plans and the endgame all the much, or else they probably wouldn’t work out too well for us. But the main goal, I will say, is just like you said, to make AEW a place that we can all be proud of," said Yuta. "There’s a lot of good that goes on in AEW, but also, it gets a little messy. There’s a lot of things that we need to clean up, a lot of things that we don’t necessarily agree with as members of the Blackpool Combat Club. We talked about it when we feuded with The Elite a long time, when we were calling them amateurs, and we were calling the roster amateurs. There’s just things where we want to tighten up, we want to grow as a company, and maybe our methods of growth are a little nasty, a little dirty, but it’s really, we just want the company to be the best that it can be. That’s really it.
“We want the roster to be better. We want there to be competition; we want it to be where we don’t have to be the ones running the show, but that’s kind of where we’re at right now," he continued. "So it’s our goal to bring everyone up with us. So that’s really the goal of everything is just to improve AEW and get it to that point where we don’t have to be smashing people’s hands with hammers anymore, where we can just go to work and have everyone rise and be the best versions of themselves because that’s really what we need."
Jon Moxley is slated to appear on the October 23 episode of AEW Dynamite as AEW continues to warn that when Moxley is around, no one is safe.
