Thw wrestling world was shocked when The New Day parted ways with WWE earlier this year. Luckily the former tag team champions were able to kick off a new chapter of their career when they made their All Elite Wrestling debut at All In.
While speaking with Fightful at PAX Australia, Austin Creed opened up about The New Level’s run with AEW so far, and he explained what it’s like to have more creative freedom.
“Yeah, I would say so. I would say so. There’s definitely more space for that. More space to be allowed to fail is how I would say it, and that’s what I thrive on is the opportunity to fail. Let me go out and try something. I don’t want it to fail, but that adrenaline rush that I get is because I’m going out on national television.
I’m going out in front of a crowd of 20,000 people and I’m trying something that I don’t know if it’s going to work or not, and then it’s successful and I go, cool, I am good at my job. Or it doesn’t work and I go, ‘Ah! Okay, well, what can I change next time so that this does work?’ Getting the chance to have that process is what I really enjoy about anything creative but specifically about wrestling, because that’s fulfillment for me. Getting the chance to try, not knowing if you’re gonna be successful.”
