Wrestler

I have always been a big rock fan and remember dressing up as Guns N' Roses' Axl Rose for my high school Halloween disco when I was 17. My teacher painted tattoos on, and I wore a small leather waistcoat and not much else.

I've wrestled since I was 15 years old, and it's the one thing that I know I do very well.

'WWE' Raw is the No. 1 sports-entertainment show in the world. If it starts to suffer, the rest of the sports-entertainment world starts to suffer.

Wrestling equals ratings. It seems sometimes that TV stations don't like to make money.

I am happy to do anything that comes my way, and I will always do my best in anything that presents itself.

I was a big fan of Bret Hart growing up, and Shawn Michaels, the Undertaker, Triple H. I've probably drawn from them when I was younger.

AJ Styles is the best in the world.

All I know is professional wrestling and sports entertainment. This is all I know, and I wanted to give it everything that I had.

From a boy who left university as a student straight to WWE - those experiences, those ups and downs in life and work shaped the wrestler and man I am today.

I appreciate when people give us some positive feedback, and in the past, when I was younger, I might have allowed it to get to my head and have a bit of an ego.

Anything can happen in pro wrestling.

I truly learned how to be a top brand myself and be what I needed to be.

The response Cena elicits from the crowd is unreal. And critically, AJ Styles has been considered one of, if not, the best in the world. Together, it's magic.

The fans in Scotland are great, but in New York, the fans are also great: they are mental.

When you are against a guy like a Bobby Lashley, you have to be smart because he can snap a leg in one second. I treat him with that respect.

Keeping a secret in the social media age often is impossible.

I used to be around John Cena all the time in WWE, and I watched him and the way he worked. John is a guy who has been at the top longer than anyone else in history, and I'm lucky to have the opportunity to train at Cena's gym and go to him for advice.

For me, the big target is to get into the Hall of Fame, but I'd like to win the heavyweight title first.

It would have been very hard to grow if I hadn't stepped outside the WWE bubble and gain a clear perspective on everything.

I treat everyone how I would like to be treated, and I try to treat this industry and this job with the respect it deserves.
