Grimes,you are one of the most underrated talents in the business. You even got a rare (albeit assisted) pin fall on the Prinxe. Strike whoever, cave in whoever,do your thing & when your done, meet me on the moon,my rocket ship got here years ago! 🚀

In my book you ARE proven.
It’s not an ‘if’ ,it’s very much a ‘when’ you face Finn Bálor.
And when we do face , the only TING you will miss – Is having a partner to tag when your getting chewed up
Huge oppertunity Kyle.
Don’t Craic under the pressure
Prinxe = Dimond https://t.co/JRbZhSoVOJ— Finn Bálor (@FinnBalor) September 19, 2020
Timothy Thatcher isn’t exactly a fan of social media, but expect him to follow suit in one way or another.
