Below are some highlights from the interview:
On who he would like to work with in the company:
“Oh man, I’d be standing here for probably an hour,” said Roode. “Yeah, Seth Rollins, the guy who is on the cover of 2K18; Roman Reigns; and Dean Ambrose. Let’s talk about the Smackdown side. We got Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Randy Orton, and Rusev. There are just a ton of guys. The sky’s the limit really, and I feel like a kid in a candy store, like I’m starting my career all over again because there is so many cool opportunities that await. So, hopefully I’ll get a chance to work with all of those guys.”
On his current feud with Dolph Ziggler:
“I think it’s gonna be great. Dolph has been here for a long time, and I always thought that he was an incredible talent,” explained Roode. “Him and I really aren’t that different; I said it on TV last time. You know we’re really alike in a lot of ways. We both demand respect in the ring, we both want to go out there and tell a great story, and we want to perform everything on the show. I think if we have that attitude going into the match, we have an opportunity to do what he says every day, which is ‘go out there and steal the show.'”
On Asuka:
“She’s gonna be dominant, she really is,” explained Roode. “There’s never been another superstar, let alone a woman, who has ever dominated this way since maybe Goldberg. I think it’s gonna be an exciting time for Raw. It’s obviously a very exciting time for Auska as well. So, it’s just a shame that she’s got that collar bone injury, and that she couldn’t have come up any sooner. But, she’s got a long career ahead of her. She’s gonna be very successful, and she’s an amazing talent. So, I’m looking forward to watching her.”
Roode also discusses his time in NXT and more.
