He highlighted how their combined personalities evoke memories of the early days of DX when Shawn Michaels and Triple H introduced a bold and disruptive style.

He further explained the dynamic, adding a humorous touch by likening himself to Hunter, who would warn about pushing boundaries too far.
“Logan was doing it over here, I was doing it over there… and when you put us together, it’s like, wow, this could have some dangerous vibes for management. The funny thing is, I’ll be Hunter going, ‘Okay, I know I used to do that, but you can’t do that.’” —Drew McIntyre, WWE Superstar
