To be able to step toe-to-toe with her and bring the fight to her, it meant the absolute world to me, and to be able to have it on the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania XL, the largest WrestleMania there is, it’s very, very special.

“I feel like this could possibly just be the start for me and Becky as well. I feel like we haven’t had many chances to show you exactly what we have together, and we want to make more magic. But tonight was special, and tonight, I think she was a little bit upset. I think that she might want to get a little payback at some point. But right now, I’m content. I’m happy with the way it went, and we’ll see what the future holds.”
