Earlier this year, on an Instagram post, Mick Foley said he still wishes Claudio had a run as the WWE Champion and compared him to Dory Funk and Jack Briscoe:

"SQUARED CIRCLE EXPO! It’s always great to run it to old friends like @claudiocsro - who I still wish would’ve had a run as @WWE champion. He’s a throw back to wrestlers like Jack Briscoe and Dory Funk… champions who could have a good match with just about anybody! …have a nice day!"

Meanwhile, Claudio is set for a Continental Classic first-round match against Jon Moxley this Wednesday on AEW Dynamite. It remains to be seen if he could beat Moxley.
