On His Favorites and Inspirations:

“Well, my first favorite definitely during the Attitude Era was ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin. At three years old, I opened a can of whoop-A, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Of course, The Rock, man. The Rock, the way he can control the crowd with his promos and his presence and just have that look of a superstar, I love that.

“But you know, even more recently than that, man: Booker T. He trained with us at NXT, he’s the head commentator at NXT. And [he] took me under his wing and said, ‘Hey man, approach the game like this. See this coming a mile away.’ And Booker T has been a huge inspiration and role model, you know, hands on in my career here in the WWE. So it’s been awesome.”

On Himself and Legend Being the Next WWE Power Couple:

“Oh man, I mean it’s written in stone. I mean, she’s quite the athlete herself, of course. A Texas A&M March Madness MVP. Drafted to the Seattle Storm, and then decided to bless us with her talents in the WWE ring. She’s a true powerhouse. And me, myself, of course been grinding… And she fine, too, Stephen. You know, I had to go get me a good one. Had to go get me a wrestler. And you know, we doing our thing, man. I love what we do, we travel the world every single week.”
