“I said I’d like to be a champion who is present. What I mean, to extrapolate, present where Roman was not frequently there. I want to wrestle on Monday Night Raw and I want to wrestle on Friday Night SmackDown. I want to be a champion like the champions I grew up loving. Guys like Terry Funk, Ric Flair, and The Rock and Triple H. That championship defines the company and who is holding it; I use the term all the time; it’s really how I feel, I have wanted to play quarterback my entire career. I have played backup quarterback, I’ve got in for a few series, I’ve maybe played a full game as a starter, but I’ve never been the number one. Everybody in this match has, other than me. That’s what I really want.”
