First of all, so glad I didn\u2019t fall. Can you imagine? If you debut and just fall on my face. How wild that would have been. But yeah, I was so excited and then when I went to go in and run, like you said, with dress shoes and jeans on, I almost lose my balance for a second but I caught myself, thank goodness,&#8221; he said.

They&#8217;re one of the greatest tag teams, if not the greatest of all time. They really, really are, and two just incredible guys.
