Q: You have been subtly pushing for a match with The Rock for years now, and it’s finally here. Did you ever think it would happen?

A: People keep saying it has been a one-year build for WrestleMania, but I started calling out Rock in 2005 or 2006. … I thought it was important to get The Rock involved with the company again. That his involvement could lift us to another level and would remind him of where he came from.
