Oh my gosh. Wow. I didn't think I'd win! I want to thank my family for putting up with this so I can succeed in my chosen profession of meaningless clickbait wrestling journalism. I want to thank God for inventing clickbait. I want to thank AEW for providing me enough banked clickbait material I can take a day off this week. Thank you, everyone. I'll treasure this honor always. They like me! They really like me!
