On Their Wrestle Kingdom 10 Match Being Among His Favorites:

“It’s definitely up there. But then we had that Saturday Night’s Main Event match… I felt that one. Very similar to the kind of match that we had at Wrestle Kingdom, and I was like, ‘Man, if we pull this off, this is gonna be freaking good.’”

On the Low Blows In Their 2018 Feud:

“He’d rather you guys forget about the nut shot feast that we had. He hated it. That (WrestleMania 34) was the first one. That was the first nut shot. He just hit nuts, you know? Luckily I had all my kids by then and so it didn’t matter.”
