On being back on the independent scene:
2019 for me is going to be a big year. 2018, I spent a lot of time doing speaking engagements, very little wrestling, but 2019 is going to be a big year for me. Hopefully [I will wrestle in] Japan, and hopefully [Ring of Honor].
On Sonya Deville Coming Out to HHH:
That’s my girl. We need more representation. It’s not just about me, it’s not just about Sonya, it’s about everyone living their truth, their honest life. That’s what it is all about. None of us are as strong as all of us, that’s why my “block the hate” message is so powerful and universal.
His current shape:
The thing is you go from being on the road 300 days a year to being on a limited schedule. You get proper sleep, you eat better. Health is wealth. I’m doing a lot of jump roping and ab wheels.
On who will win between Brock Lesnar and Daniel Cormier:
Cormier. I say Cormier because my one friend is a big Cormier fan, and I don’t want him to kick me in the face.
