Tama Tonga was a guest on the All Real Wrestling Podcast, where he spoke about having never received an offer from AEW to join their roster.
âI think there were some other guys, not me. I didnât get any offer. But I think some other guys have gotten it. But not me, and Iâm happy where Iâm at.â
On The Elite leaving to build AEW, Bullet Club factions having different visions:
âI donât have any, like, ill will or any kind of, like, animosity towards what they did. I think I always respect the hustle, I respect the work thatâs put in and I have a lot of respect for them for what they did and still doing. I think with any coworkers, people like to do one way, you like to do another way. And sometimes you clash. But you always â you overcome, you move forward. I think thatâs anybody.â
On the pseudo-Bullet Club reunion that took place on social media last year:
âI think a lot of people confuse what I do on social media as real. You know, my antics, my s**t-talking, my â you know. And thatâs what I love about all this social media, this platform, this Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, even podcasts. Because youâre displaying â no matter what youâre on, youâre displaying a character."
âAnd so sometimes as a fan, youâre like, âAlright, is he being a character or is he being real?â Which one is it? And I think some of my antics have really taken some people, thinking that Iâve got some kind ofâŠthinking some kind of ill will for somebody. And itâs never that. Itâs never that. I think I always wish the best for everybody.â
