His confidence mainly I'd say. He's benefited from hanging around guys like Kevin Owens and Matt Hardy while in ROH and I wouldn't be shocked if KO helped get him signed. Also piggybacked of the Young Bucks prior to leaving. I did enjoy the Kingdom with him Bennett and Taven. Only 3 time ROH Champion as well but that last reign was probably a last attempt to get him to stay.
Story time with Adam Cole Bay Bay is probably a big reason why live crowds like him as he's interactive. Not real flasy in the ring but he's not a bad wrestler at all. Agree he's not the biggest guy and don't think he's main event caliber on the main roster but should really fit in there in NXT.
