"Iron sharpens iron" - Top star talks about his run with former WWE Superstar's faction in Tony Khan's AEW
Wheeler Yuta recently discussed his current run with the Blackpool Combat Club, alongside former WWE Superstars in AEW.
Since joining the BCC on the April 8 edition of Rampage, Yuta has grown in popularity among All Elite Wrestling fans. He currently holds the Ring of Honor Pure Championship, which he successfully defended at the Death Before Dishonor event against Daniel Garcia on July 23.
In the media scrum of the aforementioned pay-per-view, the 25-year-old expressed gratitude towards fellow stablemates Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson, and William Regal. He added that the veterans provide him with some valuable feedback regularly.
"I think that the way the Blackpool Combat Club has really taken a genuine interest in helping me develop as a pro wrestler has just been incredible. Being able to work with such great minds and always have that feedback," Yuta said.
Yuta added that BCC's mantra of collective success helps them stand out in the promotion:
"That iron sharpens iron mentality of just making sure that we’re all doing what we should do in the ring, and just getting better and better every day has just been invaluable," he added. [H/T WrestleZone]
