He said he’ll never change his way of being himself, as the guy who kids cheer for and the dads hate. He brought up how great a feeling it is for him to be the guy kids wish to hang out with as their one wish, and to have a man who lost his leg in combat give him a purple heart because he inspired him. He said he expects Lesnar to show up next Monday on Raw to fight, or if he decides to stay home, he’ll fight Heyman instead.
