Yeah, and it was, so many weird elements to it, that John Cena’s in the crowd watching us wrestle, and we didn’t know about that ‘till, like, a little bit before the match...It’s what you dreamed about ever since you were a child and literally...But this WrestleMania, this match was the only time ever I felt like my heart was beating out of my chest and I was, like, I don’t know if I can do this...It was a big deal to me...luckily, one of my good friends that works there, he’s a referee named Jason Ayers, he kind of saw it getting to me and he kind of pulled me aside and he had to remind me who I was. If it wasn’t for him, I definitely think I would’ve kind of wrapped myself up in the head." (H/T: )
