While speaking with Inside the Ropes, the AEW commentator revealed that the duo drove drunk while traveling to the SmackDown tapings. Ross claimed that he hadn't drunk wine since.
“We did RAW in Phoenix, Arizona, then the next night, it was a SmackDown taping, so, it’s about 100 miles. And we drank - even when we were just tasting this wine - we did. We broke every law imaginable. Driving 100 miles an hour, we had open containers, drank two bottles of wine in like an hour or something on the drive, and we got really s***faced. (...) I haven’t drank wine since. I’m done. It’s like that one time getting drunk on Jack Daniels. I can’t. I can’t even smell it anymore - it makes me nauseous," he said. [H/T - Ringside News]
