What they’re saying

“I think I'll be involved in the business in some way, shape, or form. I love it. It's given me everything. [It's] helped provide a life for me, and it's what I love. It's my number one passion. So, I feel like I'll be a part of the WWE family for quite some time, as long as they'll have me, whether that's in the ring or behind-the-scenes. We'll see how it goes. But, if football comes calling, man, I'd love to be in the booth when the Bears take down the Packers in the next two decades, that'd be great.”
