On being Tyrus’ final opponent: “He did me a huge favor. Passing that torch, his career, bestowing me to be the one to take him out, which I will one day bestow on somebody, and that’s how we grow the business.”

On Tyrus getting criticism from wrestling fans: “Because he’s in a political atmosphere, so he’s going to alienate 50% of the people and partly because he’s been around for a while.”

On his match with Tyrus: “That match was one of my favorites but by no means is it a quote ‘good wrestling match.’ But what I wanted it to be was a Greek tragedy, and I think I accomplished that.”
