During the interview, he claimed that fans will give him the deserved respect after his match against Roman Reigns. He said, "If the WWE fans don’t already respect me, after Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia on November 5, you will be forced to respect me. You might not like me. I might not be your favorite wrestler, but you will have to respect what I can do in that ring, and that’s my goal.”
