Baron Corbin

If you look up what I did in Arizona, you'll see that I fought my way through training camp. I didn't have a problem fighting my teammates.

It's two guys in particular. Norman Smiley, he got his hands on me the day I walked in the door - started teaching me the fundamentals and teaching me things that I use - but Billy Gunn, that guy has helped me evolve more than anyone.

WrestleMania's sort of the end off the year for us, but it's also a beginning because we don't take any time off.

When I won the United States Championship at Hell in a Cell, it was awesome. It was my first championship ever in WWE, so it's a really cool moment for me.

One time, I was practicing against the Tennessee Titans, and one of their defensive linemen took a cheap shot at our running back, so I planted him.

Fit Finlay and guys like that, who can work with you and tailor who you are and what you're doing in the ring, are unbelievable.

It was great to get rid of the long hair. It's such a pain that, if you look at it, it's always wet when guys wrestle: you dump gallons of conditioner in it to keep it wet so you're not choking on it. You have all kinds of stuff in it, and just maintaining it is a lot of work.

The atmosphere we get with NXT and NXT fans, they're a die-hard group. They care deeply about NXT.

I really want to test my athletic ability, my toughness, and my skills against those guys who are in my ballpark size-wise.
