Over the weekend, Juice Robinson, nicknamed "rock hard," made a strong return to AEW by competing in the Men’s Casino Gauntlet Match after being sidelined due to a leg injury sustained at the Continental Classic last December. Although he didn’t secure the guaranteed AEW World Championship match with his win, Robinson received a massive cheer from the audience.
A few days later, during a sit-down interview with Renee Puckett, Robinson was asked about his reaction to the crowd’s enthusiastic response, which was also captured by his stablemates on video. Unaware that he was being filmed, Robinson shared that the positive reaction surprised him. He mentioned advice from William Regal about always performing as if the audience hasn’t met you before, and after an eight-month hiatus, the overwhelming crowd reaction caught him off guard, leading to a quick moment of realization about the excitement.
