On being back in his hometown of Atlanta: “Atlanta, Georgia, did you have a good time tonight?! We got people all the way up here! Say hi to all those people up there. I don’t need to tell you because my Mike Rome has been doing an outstanding job all night announcing the Superstars all night, Atlanta is my hometown! I’ve done some silly stuff here. Jumped off of a cage that was too high, set myself on fire, got into a fight with Brock Lesnar. I’ve done a few silly things, but all of them were in the efforts to give this city, the town, the community that raised me something to remember. When you’re home, you share things that only you would share at home. Here’s one. There is only one thing that makes me tired of coming home. The only thing that makes me tired when coming home is coming home empty-handed. I think we need to change that.”
On the WrestleMania 40 rumors: “And I am not immune to all the news, everything that’s happening, what will happen, what won’t happen. All I can tell you is this. I’m the right man for the job. I’m the best man for the job. I’m heading into the Royal Rumble, I’m gonna go back-to-back, and I’m gonna bring a championship back home to Atlanta.”
