I always bring a post-workout protein shake with me and some cereal for the mornings.

I think every person that brings a beach ball into a WWE arena should get ejected for life.

In the '90s, there was a big wrestling boom in Switzerland with Hulk Hogan, the Ultimate Warrior, and all those guys. It was on television in Switzerland on a German TV station for a year or so. That's when I saw wrestling for the first time. I was in the fifth or sixth grade and was a fan of it right away.

Austin's a great wrestling town. There's a lot of WWE fans when we get there, and they're always really loud.

You only get one chance to make the first impression. And I made the biggest first impression ever by throwing the Big Show over the top rope.

I think the best things are the ones that happen organically and take a while because nothing really happens overnight if you think about it.

The last time I was in Abu Dhabi, I had a blast. I went jet-skiing in the Arabian Gulf, I went to Ferrari World, and went to Sheikh Zayed Mosque. I just enjoyed the city and the life. It was just amazing, and I am really looking forward to coming back.

I think, over my career, if you look at it in WWE, Sheamus has always been one of my biggest adversaries and one of the ones I would like to say I had some very memorable bouts with. It's definitely fun to be in the ring with him.

I know the WWE is popular, but it is extremely popular here in the Middle East and the U.A.E.

I guess I'm just a tough cookie.

There is nothing like WWE live.

I feel like everything in WWE I earn the hard way.

I feel 'SmackDown' has the absolute best tag teams in the world: we have us; we have The New Day. We have the Usos. We have The Club. We have Sanity. We have the Hardys. We have Rusev and Nakamura.

I'm the living proof that the WWE Universe wants to see wrestling. They want to see in-ring action.

I think Raw, going forward, needs to be about the Superstars. It needs to be about the performers in the ring and not about how Stephanie McMahon and Mick Foley co-exist.

I tend to have great chemistry with whomever I step in the ring with because of the way I train and came up in this business.

You have to be a professional in every single thing you do.

I produce the most exciting matches with pretty much any person on the roster. Pick any guy on the roster, and I can tell you a match I had with them that people can still remember.

I just think we need to have a little sense of humor about yourself and just live and learn, take some chances.

To me, if people think about wrestling, they think about elbow drops, body slams, and stringing somebody in the circle.

There's a place called Chipotle in the U.S. It's Mexican food where everything is made to order; you can get some rice, black beans, and meat. That's what I eat three times a day.

Hard work pays off if you stay true to yourself and dedicated.

People hide behind fake names to tweet negative comments, and I hate that. If you have something to say, own up to it.

Growing up in Switzerland, you learn German pretty much from day one in school. You learn French and Italian as well. I took English as an extra language because I figured that was the language of the world.
