You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On his time away from WWE: “It was a unique situation where what was going on, I had to get a couple of things fixed but it didn’t require physical therapy like a lot of things I’ve had to deal with in the past. So I was able to enjoy my time and spend time with the family and the cats and get some projects taken care of outside of the ring. Sometimes stepping and getting a view outside the bubble is something that is very helpful for where you want to go as a person and with your career.”

On using the time away to get some perspective: “I’ve learned the hard way when I was younger getting fired [from WWE] and I had to step outside the bubble and get perspective again. And this opportunity allowed me to see things a little clearer and allowed people to talk a lot on the internet.”

On the match he’s looking forward to: “Logan Paul vs. Ricochet is a match that’s hopefully on after me. Because I would love to have my war and then once I’m sitting down icing myself off once GUNTHER and I are finished, I can watch the match as a fan. I am going to be highly sports entertained by the athleticism that’s going to be brought during that match.”

On celebrities in WWE and Logan Paul in particular: “It’s cool they’re here, but how do they act while they’re here? Do they treat our industry with respect, because not a lot of people do from the outside. People come in and they have a big head and then I love when they get in front of our fans and our fans can smell the BS and they boo them out the building.  All [Logan Paul] wanted to do is do a great job and have great matches and he’s done that. He’s had stand-out matches on the show, not just good matches on the show, and perhaps even the best match on a couple of shows. Himself and Roman was an incredible match.“
