-
My rise in WWE was kickstarted by my physical transformation.
-
Every day in WWE is blessing, and every day, I have to outwork my competition.
-
I don't eat any junk food.
-
Instead of fantasizing about food, I'm fantasizing about the WWE championship.
-
As long as I can remember, I was a WWE fan. I wanted to grow up and be a WWE superstar just like my favorites.
-
I think I'm going to be successful in WWE.
-
My favorite growing up was Bret Hart. I just idolized him when I was a child; he was my hero.
-
When I am on 'Raw' and 'Smackdown,' I try to make the best of it.
-
WWE sees India as huge opportunity and wants to continue to build its base.
-
Honestly, nothing tastes as good as feeling good.
-
I'm from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and my family is Punjabi.
-
The secret to my success is persistence.
-
WWE is such a universal form of entertainment. I believe that you can watch WWE in mute and still know what is going on.
-
I'm fantasizing about being the best superstar I can be and improving.
-
Getting released in 2014 was the best thing that happened to me because I got to regain my focus, regain my pride, and come back as the best-conditioned athlete there is in WWE, which ultimately led me to become the single greatest WWE champion.
-
It is an honor to represent the people of India every time I step into the ring.
-
The whole 'SmackDown' roster has a chip on its shoulder.
-
My transformation represents more than what is just skin deep; it represents my motivation, drive, and willingness to constantly improve.
-
In Birmingham, England, I had a match with Tyson Kidd, and Mick Foley was at ringside and delivered a socko to me at the end of the match. That was another one of those moments that, if you told me I would be in the ring with Mick Foley giving me a socko, I wouldn't believe you.
-
Daniel Bryan had the 'Yes' Movement. That was phenomenal.
-
I'm Punjabi and speak Punjabi fluently and know all the Indian customs and everything.
-
One of my goals is definitely to motivate the youth towards sports. Whether it's arts or academics, I just want to let them know that anything is possible. To think that I grew up as a WWE fan and now I'm a WWE champion proves that through hard work anything really is possible.
-
I had become complacent in WWE when I got released in 2014. I had become unmotivated. I wasn't driven. I was out of shape and just not focussed.
-
There's a huge Indian population here in Toronto. Also, Calgary, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Edmonton - Canada really is a great multicultural country.
