On his preparations to return to the ring: “I’m not cleared to compete right now as it is, because of Austin Theory, but trust me, my mind, my heart are strong. I’m a strong willed person. I will come back. When I come back, I will come back full steam.”

On picking up with Mysterio in his pursuit of the title: “Absolutely, yes. We already went at it just to get an opportunity at this title. Now that he holds the title, the one thing I know for sure is that he will give me an opportunity when the time comes.
