When I am on 'Raw' and 'Smackdown,' I try to make the best of it.
We don't want to upset our fans, because that's not what we are here to do.
I had become complacent in WWE when I got released in 2014. I had become unmotivated. I wasn't driven. I was out of shape and just not focussed.
I believe that every WWE superstar is in charge, 100 percent, of his own destiny.
In order to succeed in WWE, you're responsible. If you put in 100 percent, you get back 100 percent.
If I aspire to be the king of WWE, one day if I keep working at it, I will be the king of WWE.
One of my goals is definitely to motivate the youth towards sports. Whether it's arts or academics, I just want to let them know that anything is possible. To think that I grew up as a WWE fan and now I'm a WWE champion proves that through hard work anything really is possible.
I think I am the most dominant superstar in WWE.
I take a magnesium supplement before my workout because it prevents cramping.
I'm an example that, in the WWE, there are opportunities for people who work hard, improve constantly.
Being part of 'Raw 1000' in the same ring with Undertaker and Kane leading an army of young hungry wrestlers was amazing.
If a situation came about something that would offend someone culturally, I would definitely speak up. WWE would want us to speak up because negative press is not our goal.
Two months before I re-signed with WWE, I decided just out of nowhere that I will start dieting, to work on my body and train harder. I started focusing more. Two months later, WWE called me back to re-sign. That was not a coincidence but the universe telling me that I am ready.
If you eat every two hours, your body doesn't really hold much fat, and it actually speeds up your metabolism.
The first thing I do when I wake up is cardio on an empty stomach. I'll just drink water, or maybe I'll have a black coffee with no sugar, and I'll do about 25 minutes of cardio, six days a week.
In Birmingham, England, I had a match with Tyson Kidd, and Mick Foley was at ringside and delivered a socko to me at the end of the match. That was another one of those moments that, if you told me I would be in the ring with Mick Foley giving me a socko, I wouldn't believe you.
I have a very positive outlook. I set goals for myself, and I write down my goals.
I'm a firm believer that you get back what you put in.
Diet hard, train hard.
What I do normally is I do the cardio, then I'll eat - protein shake, oatmeal, banana - then I'll hit the gym, and I'll be in the gym for two hours.
