My rise in WWE was kickstarted by my physical transformation.
Mentally, you can't expect positive things to start happening in your life with a negative attitude.
You can't just become complacent or lazy, or then the decline happens.
Rob Gronkowski cost me the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, and I haven't forgot that.
I'm Punjabi and speak Punjabi fluently and know all the Indian customs and everything.
There is no food in the world that gives you a better feeling of walking around with veins bulging out, six-pack abs. It's the best feeling in the world.
I'm from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and my family is Punjabi.
I learned Punjabi before I learned English in spite of the fact that I was born in Canada.
Why can't I beat AJ Styles? I beat AJ Styles in the past before.
I don't eat any junk food.
There's a huge Indian population here in Toronto. Also, Calgary, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Edmonton - Canada really is a great multicultural country.
It is an honor to represent the people of India every time I step into the ring.
I was really into sports, playing track and field, amateur wrestling, volleyball, and soccer. I was a very active kid and teenager.
You can actually eat very clean at Chipotle. They have white rice, they have brown rice, and they have chicken. I stay away from the guac and the sour cream. I just get lettuce, double-meat chicken, and a white or brown rice.
The secret to my success is persistence.
Definitely, as an Indian, I'm seen as an outsider, and definitely, the jeers come from that. But I enjoy it; I even encourage it. Whatever noise they make when I'm in the ring, it motivates me, drives me to do better.
When I originally debuted in 2011, I was on 'SmackDown.' At the time, they were separate from 'RAW,' so I feel at home on 'SmackDown.'
One of my goals is to become a WWE Hall of Famer.
I want to retire, when it's all said and done, as one of the greats.
Personally, I am hoping being champion will increase the WWE Universe in India because I know that Indian fans are really passionate, and I want to be WWE Champion in India.
