WWE A WWE star recalls some initial hesitation when being pitched the idea of a new star being added to his current faction.
Appearing on ‘Out of Character’, Karl Anderson spoke about having some initial confusion around adding a near stranger to their group of legitimately tight friends Anderson, Luke Gallows and AJ Styles.
The new member would of course be Mia Yim, who returned to WWE last year and aligned herself with the OC as an equalizer for Judgment Day’s Rhea Ripley.
While the initial confusion didn’t have anything to do with her gender, moreover just that they didn’t really know each other, Anderson said:
“I always thought Mia looks great. She is a good wrestler. She’s done her thing, she’s been around, but we never talked. It was just like a quick hello and you know, never hung out. Didn’t know her well. Like, yeah, she’s gonna be in the OC and we were all kind of like, ‘Well, I mean, okay. I don’t know how it’s gonna work.’ Now that we’ve been around her, it’s like, dude, how did we miss this because she’s such a good sister.
“Not to be a pawn or whatever, but she really is. She’s so cool. She fits in so well. She’s so easy to work with. I think she’s got such an upside. I mean, there’s so much there that hasn’t even been, like lately, especially with the OC now. There’s so much to it with AJ just now coming back. There’s so much that we can finally start doing. It’s like we all are just kind of itching, like, let’s get us rockin’.”
Going on to elaborate why the group has more stories left to tell, Anderson said:
“She’s the equalizer of the group. I think she adds such a cool element because everyone’s AJ Styles. They’ve seen the Good Brothers with AJ. They know what we have and it just adds another really cool element with her. She really is so cool and she’s so nice and she’s got like this visual charisma that the WWE really hasn’t got a chance to see. She was in NXT before and I think her only chance up on RAW before was with that group where she had a mask on or something. I think it’s good that she can be herself now and like I said, we’re itching to get The OC moving.”
For her part, after the quote was shared around online, Mia Yim reacted positively, posting a gorgeous selfie doing the signature Bullet Club hand gesture, along with the caption:🤘🏽Official. Bullet. Babe. 🤘🏽
