Wrestler

Wrestling is about evolving, and you always want to evolve and develop yourself.

I can beat anybody on any given day, and I don't compromise.

I think every person that brings a beach ball into a WWE arena should get ejected for life.

I feel 'SmackDown' has the absolute best tag teams in the world: we have us; we have The New Day. We have the Usos. We have The Club. We have Sanity. We have the Hardys. We have Rusev and Nakamura.

I didn't come over with a comfy sponsor that took care of my visa and paid me a good amount of money right away. I came over here with nothing, the little bit of money that I had saved up, and it was struggle and plight to get some recognition and then finally make it to the WWE.

As long as you work hard, good things will come. I firmly believe that.

I just want to do as good as I can. What that is, I don't know.

I care nothing about American football.

I have a lot of maneuvers in my back pocket, so to speak. And to me, the thing is to always surprise the audience so they're always seeing something new, and not just get stuck in the same rut.

You have to be extremely fit. It is a professional sport. We have five shows a week. In 2014, I had 220 matches; in 2015, I was on the way to a similar amount before I got hurt. It is a full-time lifestyle. It is very demanding.

There's definitely some stuff that I wear or used to wear, or I used to do in the ring, that I look back, and I'm like, 'Oh, what was I thinking?'

I am not that big of a fantasy person. I prefer myself to think of living in the real world.

I always have to prove people wrong, and I'll continue exactly that.

The Royal Rumble is very difficult because, obviously, there are 30 people, and there are many superstars in it.

In the '90s, there was a big wrestling boom in Switzerland with Hulk Hogan, the Ultimate Warrior, and all those guys. It was on television in Switzerland on a German TV station for a year or so. That's when I saw wrestling for the first time. I was in the fifth or sixth grade and was a fan of it right away.

I try to work out whenever I can.

In the ring, I'm probably the strongest WWE superstar.

I know the WWE is popular, but it is extremely popular here in the Middle East and the U.A.E.

Of course, to be WWE world champion is definitely on my list. Anybody who is not reaching for that proverbial brass ring is doing something wrong if they're in the WWE.

I'm not just cookie-cutter. You always see something different.
