“I’ve talked about that many times, but then I said, ‘so you want me to go away for like 28 days just to save my job?’ No.”

“You know what’s important to me? Family. My two daughters, my wife, they believe in me. F— WWE man.” 

“It’s like a private, personal thing and I’m not going to f*cking go to rehab. If they believe in me, that’s all that matters, my wife and my two girls.”
