“The biggest misconception anyone can take from what I said on WrestleMania was that I’m disgruntled. I’m not. I’m just really, really, really hungry, man. I’m really hungry. All of this is coming from a place of passion. It’s all about the grand scheme of things. People are paying to come watch the greatest show in the world. I want to be a reason on the show where they felt like they got every single cent worth of that. I want to be more than just an Easter egg.”

“There’s a starvation for authenticity that the audience wants right now. I know it’s specifically from me, but I feel like it’s in general. People can feel like the difference between theatrics, which obviously are still appreciated, and then there’s a difference between somebody being real. That, I think, has always drawn people in.”
