BDE has set clear objectives as a full-time wrestler in TNA, aiming for championship success and key competitive milestones. After signing a full-time contract at the start of the year, BDE has been regularly featured on TNA programming while also maintaining his presence in Wrestling REVOLVER, where he recently captured the REVOLVER Remix Championship.
During a discussion on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, BDE outlined his aspirations, emphasizing his drive to claim the X-Division Championship, eventually compete for the World Championship, and secure victory in the Call Your Shot Gauntlet match.
I want to win a championship. That is definitely why I’m here. I want to win the X Division Championship, eventually the World Title. That’s way down the line. I still got to earn my stripes. But, you know, debuted in the Call Your Shot gauntlet. I would absolutely love to win that 100%. That’s like goal number one, really.
Balancing Content Creation and Wrestling Commitments
Although wrestling has become BDE’s primary focus, his passion for content creation remains strong. He explained that while he now dedicates most of his effort to training, practicing promos, and preparing for matches, he still intends to produce YouTube content, a craft he has loved since childhood.
So the content is still going to stay the same. I would say, since full-time with TNA, the content is not necessarily on the back burner, but it’s not my primary focus anymore. My primary focus is getting the gym, studying practice and promos, all that. This is the main goal now, because I feel like, with content after I hit a million subscribers, that was my real last goal for YouTube, it’s something that I’ll still do. I tell my viewers all the time, I’ll be making content till I’m old and gray. My mom gave me my first camera when I was, like, nine years old. I used to make family movies, skits with my friends. That’s just something I enjoy doing, like it was a hobby before it was a job, so I’m always gonna be making content.
Interest in Possible WWE NXT Appearances
BDE expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity to appear on WWE NXT, should the chance arise through the partnership between TNA and WWE. While his main focus remains on TNA responsibilities, he indicated willingness to support WWE NXT if called upon.
Yeah, that’d be sweet. Obviously, my main focus is TNA. But if the opportunity ever rolls around, I’m definitely down. I’m a team player, whatever TNA wrestling needs me to do. I’m there.
Jeff Hardy’s Advice on Authenticity
BDE recalled valuable advice from WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Hardy about connecting with audiences. Hardy emphasized being genuine and true to oneself as the best approach to resonate with fans, advice that aligns with BDE’s content creation background.
Really, it was just to be yourself and be authentic. I was asking, what do you think is the best way to connect with the audience? He told me, just be authentic. Be yourself. You’re already doing that because you have your content and stuff like that. But that was really the gist of it. Was a quick conversation. He was putting his makeup on, so I didn’t bother him. But yeah, he was, he was very kind about that. So, yeah, the authenticity for sure.
Significance and Future Outlook for BDE
BDE’s determination to climb the ranks in TNA while maintaining his creative endeavors underscores his ambitious character. His openness to appearing on WWE NXT reflects a strategic approach to broadening his wrestling career. With guidance from established figures like Jeff Hardy, BDE is focused on developing an authentic connection with fans as he progresses toward title opportunities in both the X-Division and the World Championship. His continued content creation will also keep his growing fanbase engaged as he advances inside the ring.
