Here are some highlights:

Preparing for the biggest match of his career:

"People doubt my training and preparation, but even my
haters will say I'm the hardest-working man in the business.
By Feb 23rd, everyone will see I'm working harder than ever—
my diet is the strictest, my gym plan is the toughest, and
my head is the clearest it's ever been. This is the best
version of me the world has ever seen."

Why he didn’t cash in his Thunderbastard shot early:

"I could have cashed in my Thunderbastard shot when Luke was
battered and bleeding, but I didn’t. I wanted to do it the
right way, face-to-face, like a man. My actions will speak
louder than my words, and when I win, I’ll do so with pride,
knowing I earned it."

What this moment means to him:

"This isn't about Luke Jacobs—this has always been about me.
I started at the bottom, setting up rings and taping cables,
before I even got my first match. I had to fight for every
opportunity, even after a year undefeated. But now, my
journey to greatness is complete, and on Feb 23rd, everyone
will say: Tate Mayfairs is the undisputed World Heavyweight
Champion."

Tate also spoke about his mental clarity, the influence of
Eddie Dennis, and why he believes the world is about to
witness the full power of Tateness is Greatness. You can
