“I thought I was going to feel a hell of a lot worse than I do,” he tells Inverse. His appearance on RAW saw him facing off against Bron Breakker, one of the more ruthless bullies on the WWE roster.

(He’s partial to body slamming his opponents from the top rope of the ring, a move he calls the “Tsunami.”)
