However, both stars remember an incident that took place before WrestleMania XL when they won the Tag Team Titles.

During an appearance on the UpUpDownDown channel, A-Town Down Under was having a conversation with Xavier Woods. Austin Theory shared a story about a visit to a restaurant just a day before WrestleMania XL. He stated that the Australian star was choking, and he saved his life by applying the Heimlich maneuver.
