"It's going to be so much fun. Triple H is going to be so mad, Stephanie McMahon is going to be so mad. The Authority and the whole regime is going to be so upset, and it's going to be very troubling times for me should I walk out of Baltimore on Sunday as WWE champion because they are going to try to get that thing away from me. And they are not going to stop at anything, and I'm going to enjoy that. What a challenge. Walk in every day to people trying to destroy you when you come to work. How much better could it be?
"Just the thought of reaching the top of that mountain. Buddy Rogers, Bruno Sammartino, Pedro Morales, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels; countless legends and people that I studied and learned from and aspired to be. To get up on that wall of champions, to be part of that... It's like they're looking every day for a new face of WWE, it seems, and after Sunday this might be it."
