During an appearance on the Battleground Podcast, Wayne expressed gratitude for Cage's advice, particularly in improving his promo skills, which he previously considered a weak point. Cage recognizes Wayne's potential and has taken him under his wing, often providing detailed critiques on Wayne's matches. Despite the challenges of being a young performer in a competitive environment, Wayne feels increasingly confident thanks to Cage's guidance. Wayne also highlighted the emotional bond they share outside of wrestling, noting similarities in their personal and professional lives.
