Corbin further added,
“They want an opportunity at that, they want a chance, they want to earn it, they want to own it, and I think that’s what the crowd does to people, and then you have people that are cowards, like Shinsuke, that want to steal it, but at least Xavier Woods wants to earn an opportunity to wear the crown. I think that’s important to him, to his career, and I am happy to make it a disappointment, a regret in his long career that he will have, that he came up short in a tournament that he cares so dearly about.”
