On not caring about what Drew McIntyre says: “I could care less what Drew says. Drew’s been talking for months. That’s all he does is talk. He forgot how to deliver, and that’s why he lost at WrestleMania. That’s why he lost on Raw. The old Drew McIntyre, the one that he always talks about, when he had his moment but there was no fans, that guy handled business. This guy, all he does is talk and complain and whine, and then he loses. He does it to himself, so I could care less. I’m sure he’s on social media. That’s what he cares about now, and people, ‘Oh, yeah, Drew, you’re funny.’ I can be serious.”
On waiting for the perfect opportunity: “I’ve been saying I wanted the perfect opportunity, timing, the moment, all of it, it had to be perfect. WrestleMania, it can’t get any more perfect than that. So this was the time.”
