"I can sure hit up somebody like Becky Lynch, or I can hit up Marina Shafir and be like, if you want advice on acting, or you want me to watch anything, I can do that to be reciprocal in my help. I always try to offer that," Hauser said of wrestlers coming to him for advice on acting.

Hauser confirmed that Lynch had taken him up on the offer and he responded with little bits of advice.

"No, not recently," Hauser said of speaking with Lynch. "Just like little little advice (I've given). Things like sending a DM or a text. And you know, Sammy Zayn is a guy I got to know a little bit through Johnny Knoxville. And if I have a question about wrestling or he has a question about acting, we'll go to each other."
