Not many people get to say, 'I'm a WWE champion.' It's pretty incredible just to hear those words coming out of my mouth.

When I was a kid growing up, I ate my vitamins, worked out because Hulk Hogan told me to.

As a kid, growing up, my heroes all had the Intercontinental Championship. Ultimate Warrior, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Mr. Perfect, Ric Rude, all of them. And they were the people I looked up to and wanted to be like.

My favorite wrestler growing up was The Ultimate Warrior.
