RJ City Gets BUMPED By Thunder Rosa, Talks AEW Content, More | 2022 Interview

RJ City has become a huge star, thanks to Fightful. Since first appearing on Fightful programming, RJ City has šŸ’™appeared for both WWE and AEW.

Recently, Tony Khan šŸŒ¼announced on a media call that he was a fan of RJ City's work and would be bringing him in for AEW Revolution, which is where we spoke with him.

SEAN ROSS SAPP: Think of my shock as Iā€™m on a media caļ·½llā€”

RJ CITY: Yeah, howā€™d you not get that? You heard no šŸŽrumblings about that aāœƒll?

SEAN ROSS SAPP: Not a bit. First off, I wasšŸŒŠ a little pissed. I was like, ā€œThis motherfucker didnā€™t tell me.ā€

RJ CITY: Which is great. When stuff is not actually keptšŸ™ˆ amongst wrestlersšŸ», when itā€™s kept among other people, no leaks get out. Which is great.

SEAN ROSS SAPP: See, I think people would assume you would šŸ‘be the weasel that would tell me stuff.

RJ CITY: Yeah. Iā€™m not gonna talk about my ownā™š business, thź¦•ough. I also did not know that Tony was going to mention my name on the media call.

SEAN ROSS SAPP: Exactly.

RJ CITY: Then I šŸ”Æquoted it and wrote,ą²ž ā€œThis is news to me,ā€ and people were like, ā€œOh, he got it wrong.ā€

SEAN ROSS SAPP: So, I didnā€™t know you were going to WWE, didnā€™t know that you stopped working for them, that you were headinź¦ŗg to AEW.

RJ CITY: Well, you had a little idea about WWE.

SEAN ROSS SAPP: WašŸŒ¼it, I got one. I knew yāœØou were turning babyface.

RJ CITY: Okay.

SEAN ROSS SAPP: Beforehand.

RJ CITY: Didnā€™t I announce it on your program?

SEAN ROSS SAPP: I think so. Maybe. Everybody found out ļ·½when I found out.

RJ CITY: Yeah, it was ašŸ§œ great time for us, you knowāœ±? I kept it from you and I surprised you and in many ways I surprised myself.

SEAN ROSS SAPP: The Grim Reaperā€™s coming for you, you knšŸŒ ow that?

RJ CITY: Well, isnā€™t the Grim RšŸƒeaper coming forāœ± us all?

SEAN ROSS SAPP: I guess you could say that.

RJ CITY: Doesnā€™t death march onward no matter how we try to escašŸŽ‰pe it? No matter how we try to defeat old father time we all succumb? Not just us, buildings crumble. Leaves dry up, they fall off the tršŸ¬ees. Soil grows dry, you know? But weā€™re here. Weā€™re spinning and weā€™re making the best of it largely by making stupid videos. Thatā€™s what weā€™ve chosen to do. We could have joined a missionary or something.

SEAN ROSS SAPPš“„§: Speaking of mission, I told you Iā€™m bumping you as soon as Rosa shows uź¦æp.

RJ CITY: Whatā€™s going on here?

THUNDER ROSA: Hi.

SEAN ROSS SAPP: Listen, I appreciate the factā€”

RJ CITY: You started, ā€œOh, how are you here?ā€ I started to open š“†up and I reallyź§‹ thought you have me on and itā€™s all shtick, shtick, shtick, and I thought we were about to have a genuine moment.

SEAN ROSS SAPP: We were. We were.

THUNDER ROšŸ‘SA: Iā€™ll just draggedā„± myself out of here, honestly. Okay, Iā€™ll leave you to your interview.

SEAN ROSS SAPP: No! That was the bit! I gotta actuallā™•y talk to him now.

RJ š†CITY: No, no. That was it. š’€°I have nothing to say. No, she doesnā€™t want toā€”okay.

RJ CITY: Go ahead. Okay, three minutes.

SEAN ROSS SAPP: Weā€™ll do three minutes and I want to know, hošŸ’žw the hell you ended up here? I mean, legitimately, all jokes aside, youā€™re very talented, very funny.

RJ CITY: Yeah, but,šŸ…ŗ people are like, ā€œā€™The hell am I gonna do ź§Ÿwith this person?ā€

SEAN ROSšŸ¦©S SAPP: But the fact that Tony Khan himself went, ā€œHeh, LOL,ā€ and called you up.

RJ CITY: Twitter can be šŸ…°an evil,šŸ’§ miserable place, can also lead to beautiful things.

SEAN ROSS SAPP: He saw our inį©šį©šį©šį©šį©šį©šā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤į©šā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤į©šā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤į©šš’€±į©šį©šį©šterview and the ass eating tweet andā€”

RJ CITY: Said, ā€œBring me Ed Asner,ā€ ā€œSir, heā€™s pšŸ»assed away,ā€ and he said, ā€œGet me the next best thing.ā€

SEAN ROSS SAź¦“PP: ā€œGet me the guy that was š“„§talking about him.ā€

RJ CITY: Yeah.

SEAšŸ”„N ROSS SAPP: Then you said, ā€œAlright, I gotta get my best ass eating material.ā€

RJ CITY: Yeah, I guź§Ÿess so. But, I guess I can say, you knowā€”whenš•“ does this come out? February?

SEAN ROSS SAPšŸ¤”P: I donā€™t think itā€™s gonna be time sensiš“”tive.

RJ CITY: Oh, my God. Well, maybe by this point there wonā€™t be more tź§Ÿo come.

SEAN ROSS SAPP: Oh, boy.

RJ CITY: Maybe itā€™ll get outš’…Œ and theyā€™ll be like, ā€œHe is just useless. He just has the same three jokes.ā€

SEAN ROSS SAPP: I dšŸŽo want you to plug your stuff. Tell pā™“eople where they can find you.

RJ CITY: You tell them. Youā€™re supposedšŸ» to be the professionšŸ al. Oh, my God.

SEAN ROSS SAPP: I gotta show you an actualā€”

RJ CITY: Wait a minute. Regis used to do his shows, Spike Lee used to come on. He didnā€™t go, ā€œSpike, when does yą¼ŗour movie come out?ā€ He had it in the prompter, he had it on cards.

SEAN ROSS SAPP: I gotta show you a series of text messages that I goź§™t.

RJ CITY: From? Tito Santana?

SEAN šŸ“ROSS SAPP: From the Ceaā™se Twins, Allie and Emily C.

RJ CITY: The Deź¦°ceased Twins? Thįƒ¦eyā€™re no longer with us?

SEAN ROSS SAPP: No, no. Theyā€™re very much alive.

RJ CITY: Is this about me?

SEAN ROSS SAPP: ā€œRJ City is here.ā€ I said, ā€œTell him you know mešŸŒø,ā€ and they said, ā€œHe has his gear with him.ā€ So I said, ā€œSo, a mic and a cup of coffee.ā€

RJ CITY: And? That turned out to be absolutely the case. Who are the Ceased š“°Twins?

SEAN ROSS SAPP: Theyā€™re for the ruckus.

RJ CITY: Okay. I donā€™t wantšŸŒ to be a part of this weird group. No, youā€™re trying to do hand signs and sell t-shirts.

SEAN ROSS SAPP: For the ruckus

RJ CITY: No, no. I donā€™t want to beā€”no. These fads blow in and blow out like the slinky. When was the last time you played with a slinky? Thatā€™s what I thought. Thunder Rosa is here. First of alšŸ‰l, she has a career, number one, and number two, a little more of a personality than I have at this point.

SEAN ROSS SAPP: She has a good one, yeah.

RJ CITY: Sheā€™s excited about things and I think thatā€™s the eneršŸ€…gy you want at this point. But I want to thank you, at least, for yš“„§our consistency.

āœØSEAN ROSS SAPP:šŸ§œ Yes. I am, if nothing else, consistent, at the very least.

RJ CITY: YšŸŒ ou want me to keep this going or hand it off, is this like a š’Ŗlittle relay? Weā€™ve got one nice long take you donā€™t have to edit.

SEAN ROSS SAPP: Until next time, weā€™re out.
