Thoughts on being Cena’s final opponent via VoxCatch:

“I think he’s going to be a great passing of the torch if I just get to retire John Cena in WWE. I mean, yeah, that would be a fantastic farewell for him, you know, because he started my career, now I can end his, which is going to be very appropriate and…karma always comes back, you know, at the end of the day.”
