New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

"At first, my dad didn’t want me to wrestle. He wanted me to lift weights and be a shot-putter. Then he became my biggest supporter in wrestling. I realize now he just wanted me to be strong & believe in myself no matter what I was doing. Wrestling+Lifting accomplish both for me."
