On if a Championship makes a superstar a ‘top guy’ in the company:
“I think that a championship definitely says something about you, it definitely says you’re the guy that puts butts in the seats. The WWE Champion does that for SmackDown, he’s our guy that puts butts in the seats, that’s why people come to see it. Do you necessarily have to be a top guy to have the championship? You don’t have to be. Once you’ve got the respect of the fans for everything you’ve done, you can be that top guy. But I personally enjoy being a champion.”
On which match in WWE so far has been his favorite:
“I’ve had a lot of great matches already and I don’t know that I can pick just one, I don’t know if that’s a question for me. Now I did enjoy the WrestleMania match, because it’s always bigger than anything else, with Shane McMahon and I’m very proud of that match. That’s one that’s at the top of my list, but there are many others like with Roman Reigns and John Cena as well, so it’s hard to pick just one.”
On what his ‘WrestleMania’ dream match is:
“Will it happen? I’m not sure. I think there’s a lot of matches that people want to see and Shinsuke [vs.] AJ Styles is definitely one of them, also with Bobby Roode. There’s very few people on the SmackDown roster I’ve yet to have a one-on-one match with, and I think that would be very special to have any one of those guys at WrestleMania.”
