As mentioned, we have an interview with Ben Carter, where he talks about his career to this point.
Britt Baker put him over to Tony Khan without even meeting him, and Christopher Daniels contacted Carter about coming in. Because of his residence status, AEW couldn't legally pay him, so he ended up working the show for free, which he told us he was more than happy to do. He said that the experience was a whirlwind and really came into perspective how big the spots were when he saw the buzz online. He sounded happy to meet and work with Tony Khan, and mentioned them bonding over soccer.
Carter would be happy to team with Lee Johnson, and seemed very happy that Johnson was getting a lot of praise after last week as well. Unfortunately Carter ended up with COVID-19, and had to pull out of a dream match with Alex Shelley, but said he was feeling good.
We spoke of Carter's future, and though he wouldn't outright confirm it, he said that he's in a great spot right now and has plenty of decisions to make. He has to get his visa situation sorted out first, which is easier said than done during a pandemic.
