He stated, “I was in a hotel room in Houston, Texas walking up and getting ready for SmackDown and then turned on the TV and I saw airplanes fly right into the twin towers. They kept showing it over and over again. And it was shocking. I mean the whole country shut down everybody was scared everybody was nervous. I gotta call by Johnny Laurinaitis saying that SmackDown was canceled, but stay put because we might end up doing something.”
“In a day or two, he said it’s not sure right now but they might possibly do something later on in the week so I just sat there in a hotel room and couldn’t do anything a lot of people were scared to go anywhere. It felt like you were around a big crowd that would leave you vulnerable, so you want to kind of stay put and stay in a private room and kind of wait it out, makes sure that the security in the US was a lot tighter.”
