“The one thing I've learned in sports entertainment is that nothing is for certain, and you never say never.”

“As far as memories go, I was around for the very first WrestleMania. I was a young kid upstairs at my uncle's restaurant in a change room or staff room watching it, I think, illegally, on a black and white television.”

“I got into this business for one reason, and I stayed in this business for one reason: To be the World Heavyweight Champion. I think if you are in professional wrestling, and you don't have that dream or aspire to be the best and carry that World Heavyweight Championship, then you are in the wrong business.”

“When you go live, anything can happen. It excites me because it means I have to be on. When the camera's on, whatever happens happens.”

“Wherever my career takes me, whether it be 'moving up to the main roster' or staying in NXT doing what I'm doing now, I'm quite content having my passion back for this business and doing what I love to do.”

“I know this is my hometown of Toronto, but I'm going to treat 'TakeOver: Toronto' like it's another night at the office. I'm going to prove why I am one of the best in the world.”

“Everybody knows I'm Canadian, and I'm proud of that. I'll never deny that fact that I'm Canadian.”

“The WWE is the be-all and end-all of sports entertainment. They just do things right.”

“To this day, I continuously get social media people tweeting doing 'Glorious Bombs' from all over the world. You have little kids doing them. You have moms doing them who have no idea what they're doing, but they're doing it. It's become one of those entertaining things.”

“There are a lot of guys in those SmackDown and Raw locker rooms that, given the opportunity, I'd love to have matches with, tell stories with, and do stuff with.”

“Obviously, I was fortunate enough in my first WWE experience was to be at WrestleMania in Dallas. That itself was pretty incredible, just to meet everybody and to get familiar with the NXT guys.”

“We're social media-driven now, the social media team is huge in WWE. It really helps expand our brand.”

“I think timing is everything. I have no regrets in my career. I've been able to make a name for myself and build my own brand.”

“To me, I think I've always carried that type of WWE style with me throughout my career, even before I got here, so the transition hasn't been that difficult. I've been enjoying the transition, to be honest with you, because in my opinion, this business evolves all the time, and it changes all the time.”

“People will come up to me at live events or wherever and have me sign Canadian flags or the old 'Team Canada' shirt and have me talk about those days back in 'Team Canada,' so it's a moment that I'm proud of.”

“I obviously wanted to keep wrestling and stay in the business. The opportunity came up with WWE, and it's been an incredible experience.”

“Triple H is very hands-on and approachable. My whole 'Glorious' song is because of Triple H. Before I even signed my contract, we discussed what I wanted to do and what he felt like I could do. It's been a real joy working for him.”

“When I started here, I didn't really have prior plans. I just wanted to be part of WWE, to get the opportunity to show what I can do.”

“I study a lot of tapes. I have a passion for the business, and I've always wanted to be the best ever since I got in the business. I have a love for this sport and just want to be the best in it.”

“Over time, the business itself has evolved and changed almost seemingly every year. I've been able to adjust and change my style and adapt to whoever I'm in the ring with.”
