Love was born at a beer pong game.
That is the story for AEW star Jungle Boy, anyway.
The Jurassic Express member and fan-favorite star in All Elite Wrestling spoke about hitting it off with fellow AEW performer Anna Jay at an AEW cookout one year ago during a recent appearance on the Oral Sessions with Renee Paquette podcast.
Featured below is the excerpt from the interview where he tells the story.
“I feel like it’s not as cute as you’d want it to be. It was a weird year, very strange. I think she came in at a time where I was at home for a couple of months, they weren’t bringing people from California and she lived in Georgia, so she got in the fold somehow. And then when I came back, she was there. I met her thanks to Joey Janela, playing beer pong at a company BBQ. Joey asked me to be his partner and we played against her and Alan Angels.
“We were playing beer pong, but I could see some googly eyes over there a little bit. I was like ‘okay, that’s interesting.’ And I remember later that night, Sonny Kiss actually coming up to me, kind of grinning, saying ‘I need to tell you something.’ I’m like ‘I already know.’ We kind of just started hanging out. It was strange because I’d see her once every two weeks because of the taping schedule. It was like a weird way to get to know someone I felt like. We’re also at work and there’s a lot going on. It was cool. We got to know each other and all that. And then, you know how these things go kind of, one thing turned to another and somehow here we are.”
