"The first person to really put that in my mental space, and he didn’t even say it to me, I just watched him do it, was John Cena. You look at all the stuff that he’s done for kids and everything, and he did all that. He did more Make-A-Wishes than anybody ever, and he didn’t want anybody to know.”
“It’s him giving me a better perspective and more compassion for myself when I didn’t do my best when I main-evented my first pay-per-view in WWE, his perspective on that was, like, ‘Listen, it can take six months for people to even know who you are, right? Just from being on TV.

"The hardcore wrestling fans will know who you are pretty quick. But the casual viewers who just watch every other week, or whatever it is, it takes them six months to even know you exist, right? And then even longer for people to see you as a main-event player, you know?”
