On Nia Jax apologizing afterward: “I texted her, [she said]] ‘I’m so sorry,’ you know. [She] felt — and I talk about this in the book — felt horrible. Anybody who hurts somebody feels horrible, but if that didn’t happen then it wouldn’t have that cool image. So you know, thank you Nia.”
On suffering a concussion from the shot: “I had no clue where I was, I had no clue where I was. I was like, ‘Where, where are we? How did I get here?’ I was able to run on autopilot all the way up to that and then it was just black. I had no clue. I remember Stephanie McMahon looking after me in the trainer’s room, being very kind. And I just remember the coldness in Kansas that night and yeah. So I don’t I don’t know what the conversations were.”
On being visited in the hospital afterward: “It wasn’t until I was in the hospital [that I pieced it all together]. And Natty, Bailey and Sasha came to visit me and I was lying there. And they came in and they were like, ‘Do you know what happened?’ And I was like, ‘No, but I remember you guys had a really good match. You had a really good match right before.’ And then I started piecing together spots from their match, and telling them their their own match back.”
