Speaking about Fenix, in particular who he considers not just another wrestler but a figure with a transformative ability to shape WWE in a similar manner to the wrestling legend, Rey Mysterio he remarked,

“His popularity has skyrocketed as well; he could be one of those transitional guys, because WWE always wanted to have a guy who’d be able to transition, as far as who was gonna be that next great Mexican superstar.”
