“You know, The Miz did it a few years ago, DX have done it, a couple people have done it and done it pretty well but I had — you know, it felt like I was stepping out of my comfort zone a little but I figured that was the most impactful thing I could do going into this match or this confrontation, whatever you wanna call it and it ended up being a lot of fun. I think I pissed a lot of people off which was delightful.”
