Last week against Wolfgang I suffered an injury, I suffered a severe ankle injury really early in the match. But I fought until the very end. I fought until the very end because this, the NXT UK Championship, it’s not a privilege. Being the NXT UK Champion means to fight to be the very best in that brand and this brand has had only fighting champions. As much as I would love to continue to do that, I can’t. This injury means that the medical will not clear me. And nobody knows how long I need to recover; the medical team feels that it’s only in my best interest to relinquish the championship today. What should I say right now? Should I talk about how hard I worked for this?  Because I won’t, every single superstar backstage is working extremely hard, or should I talk about my hard past, like going from Russia to Germany? Like being poor, like being underestimated? No, I’m going to do this. We all have to fight our own battles and I’m absolutely nothing special in that case.

Or should I talk about something different? Should I talk about the fact that if I would have been more careful with my health while I’m fighting this injury might not have happened? No, because I don’t regret anything. That’s me, I sacrificed my entire existence. If I look through this ring I see bits of my soul, laying everywhere on the canvas. All I ever wanted was to show my true soul, my honest face, I wanted to encourage people, to encourage that you can endure every pain as long as it has a reason and win. I fought with my soul as your NXT UK Champion. As sad as I am to relinquish the NXT UK Championship, as sad as I am to know that somebody else will take place, I know one thing, no one beats me except myself. I will come back, I will come back as a better man than you see today and if you think I was strong holding this championship, you will be surprised how strong I will become to get it back. Long live the zar.
