Jay Reflects on His Victory, Xavier’s Change in Attitude, and the Unexpected Spear from Bron Breakker
Summary
– Jay successfully defends his Intercontinental Championship against Xavier Woods.
– He comments on Xavier’s recent uncharacteristic behavior.
– Bron Breakker’s surprise spear left Jay frustrated, promising to settle the score.
Jay opened up about a whirlwind night, starting with his first successful Intercontinental Championship defense against Xavier Woods. Despite their long history, Jay noticed a shift in Xavier’s demeanor, describing him as more distant and less sportsmanlike than usual. “We go way back, but something’s different with him,” Jay said. “He’s battling something, and I’m not sure what it is.”
When asked if Xavier’s attitude surprised him, Jay admitted that the change was noticeable, especially when Xavier stopped engaging backstage, a stark contrast to the upbeat persona fans know. “He’s not even hooking up the game anymore,” Jay remarked, highlighting the distance growing between them.
However, the bigger story of the night came from Bron Breakker, who attacked Jay after their previous show of respect. “I thought he was giving me my props, but then he hit me with a spear I didn’t see coming,” Jay said, clearly frustrated. Jay had previously taken spears from his cousin Roman Reigns, but this betrayal from Breakker felt personal. “We’re gonna run that back for sure,” he promised, signaling unfinished business between the two.
Despite the pain from Breakker’s attack, Jay revealed plans to stay in St. Louis for another night, hinting at a possible appearance at NXT and even giving a shout-out to local star Sexy Red. “If my ribs heal up, we’re gonna yeet,” Jay said, determined to recover quickly and continue his momentum.
