The calmest part of my day is right before a match. ”

I don't look any further than what's right in front of me. ”

Once you get within a few weeks of the show and it becomes WrestleMania season, the energy starts picking up, and the energy feels different. You can feel it in the air, and every show means a little bit more, and everything is a little more focused and directed. Everything's directing toward that day of WrestleMania. ”

I think NXT has opened up the doors for a lot of guys to come in and create different opportunities. ”

I'll fight anyone for enough money. Give me half a million dollars. ”

It's such a high-pressure form of live entertainment that I found, once I got out there, being on a movie set isn't that different from being on 'Monday Night RAW.' It's all stuff that I was prepared for. ”

I know a lot of guys say that when they are younger - 'I'm gonna get it, get my money, and get out' - and then end up wrestling until they're 50. But that could end up being me, too. I can tell you I want to get out early and end up eating my own words. All of a sudden, I'm 50, and I'm still walking out there. ”

The thing is that, not only do you learn so much about being in front of a camera and stuff being on 'Monday Night RAW,' but at the same time, I'm not really acting on 'Monday Night RAW.' ”

If you're a wrestling fan, and you watch it on TV, that's great, but there's nothing quite like being there live. ”

Having that main event load to carry is very comfortable for me. Anything less is uncomfortable. ”
