On his partnership with Paul Heyman:
“I definitely think the relationship has evolved. Even being on the other side as the opponent of Brock Lesnar and still having that performance relationship with Paul, you build that equity and that common ground between each other, that familiarity between the two to where we kind of know how each other operates. We get a sense for each other’s personalities.
That’s kind of a testament to Paul. If he’s working with you, then in his mindset, he’s working for you. Everything he does is to cater to that performance, and he’s been around performers pretty much his whole adult life. He knows that he needs to do everything in his in his capability to make the performer comfortable in what they are doing.
And so for me, ever since we started working together, I think it really shows up, I’m able to wear the skin of my character so much more seamlessly. That’s just a testament to Paul, his professionalism and just how genuine he is when it comes to the people he’s working with and his loved ones for that matter.”
On if his current WWE run is the most fun he’s ever had in his career:
“Oh, without question. When you’re in this position, it’s a weekly battle. There is a little bit of stress that’s involved with the creative scenario and fighting for what you believe in and really jockeying for your position of telling your story the way you want to tell it because it’s a collaborative situation. You have to be a team player, but, man, it’s fun.
