On the Notion of Writing For WWE:

“No, I would — and I am not kidding…. I would love to do that. That would be like bucket list. That would be bucket list… You might regret saying that, you might regret saying that. That could be really fun. That’s like a cool — I’m a fan.

“The performers now are like, there’s some really, really cool — You know who I love is IYO SKY. And Rhea [Ripley], and I was saying Jacob [Fatu]. I love Jacob Fatu. There’s so many like really, really fun people to watch. I love The Vision, I love Paul Heyman.”

On Heyman:

“He’s one of the best people I’ve ever seen on television, like he’s on the shortlist of just the people — I don’t know why he’s not a four-time Emmy winner. He’s so good on television, and every time he’s on, it’s like something cool or developing.”
