“I thought he looked great. As someone who wrestled him ten years ago, the same questions were raised. Everyone wanted to know what he was going to look like, how his endurance would be.
“While there’s a significant difference between a tag match or returning to face the champion, I thought he did well tonight. I thought he looked really good. He won the match, what more can I say?”
Because of the win, tonight’s Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match will be contested under ‘Bloodline Rules’ which means that anything goes.
