The wildcard that was announced this past week has got
everybody asking a lot of questions but that being Daniel Cormier,
DC is going to be the special guest referee.
You obviously have an extensive mixed martial arts background,
spent some time in UFC.
Do you have any sort of relationship with DC beyond the surface?
>> I've met DC in the airport the other day after money in the bank.
He was there in Vegas with the UFC fights.
I was there, of course, for money in the bank.
And that we were both checking in, we were doing the clear with our eyes.
We ran into each other and saw each other.
But other than that, that's the most I I've interacted with Dan Cormier, but
I have seen photos of him on the internet holding a Seth Rollins t shirt.
I didn't realize this guy was a huge fan for Seth freaking Rollins,
I thought he talked about fraternity, mixed martial arts of brotherhood.
And I'm like how's this going to be a fair call down the center.
And I don't know, Cormier is holding a little grudge against me because,
I kind of did something he can never do.
>> Elaborate on that.
>> Well, DC, World double Champion,
Hulk favor stallion amongst stallions especially in the UFC,
but the guy could never technically be John Jones.
>> And I would say I beat John twice in high school.
>> [LAUGH] [CROSSTALK].
>> And we were kind of children, but still I placed ahead of him multiple times,
I've won states, I was a stallion.
And lets just hope that Daniel Cormier can do.
So, hopefully that doesn't come back to haunt me.
And DC calls it down the middle in Philadelphia.
>> Hear this Gravy?
I mean, do you think [INAUDIBLE] Riddle?
>> You know that we were gonna ask you about any preferential treatment for
the former UFC guy, from DC Daniel Cormier and
instead you jumped ahead of the game here.
And you're talking about Seth Rollin's shirt, and
you're worried about him calling it down in the middle.
You think we're gonna buy that stuff?
>> Yeah, I mean, the thing about DC is, he's a legit champion,
he is a stallion and I think as a human being he's a good person.
So even though I think he has some favoritism towards Seth,
this is a fan, I think he likes the Beast Slayer.
The architect he likes all that stuff.
I don't know if he's a big original broke fan, but
I think at the end of the day, he respects both of us and what we both do, and
I think DC is gonna call down the middle, I hope.
>> I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
I wanna see this thing reach its proper conclusion.
Talk to me a little bit more about Seth Freaking Rollins.
You guys have been embroiled in this rivalry for
months now since beginning of the summer.
And obviously it's kinda extremely personal, more so
in front of the camera than a lot of rivalries in WWE,
it's got a lot of people buzzing even in the lead up to clash the castle.
You guys have a banger of a magic clash, of course Rollins escapes with the W.
How was this whole process been for you and
what have you learn from working against Seth Rollins and what are you looking
forward to most about Rollins being your opponent in the fight pit?
>> Seth is an amazing opponent and I'll be honest this is good for both of us cuz I
don't think neither one of us like like each other that much, and never have.
>> Right, I've brought that up, you know all the details, obviously.
I didn't wanna speak out of turn, but, that was a pretty well publicized issue
when you first arrived, whether it's on Raw or in WWE as a whole.
You guys didn't get along too well.
>> Didn't get along too well, he wasn't a fan of me and I wasn't a fan of his.
But somebody close to me at the time, made some comments and
Seth in the other thing, and Seth wouldn't talk to me,
Seth wouldn't look at me, he wouldn't talk to me.
He was gonna have anything to do with me.
And eventually it's kinda Brock and everybody else, you don't have a choice.
I'm here, I'm gonna keep working hard, eventually,
you're gonna have to get in the ring with me and we're gonna have to do business.
And eventually Seth came to that conclusion, but
I think he also realizes what I bring to the table,
what I'm willing to do to get reactions from the crowd.
Just like when we go personal, we talk about things we probably shouldn't be
talking about, >> Well, let's face it,
these days child support is very expensive [LAUGH].
>> Am like bro, I don't care, I mean I do pay child support,
things are rough for me.
And for me I absolutely think it's more of a therapeutic thing guess everybody that
knows me knows what I am going through.
>> He would have said that to me if I was going through that,
cuz everybody that's been in that spot, in that moment can relate.
And I think that's the big thing, I think it's something Seth does and
people don't realize, I want people to relate.
Everybody can relate about being like the small brother or
friend that just wants to be cool and have the other brother like him.
That's me and Randy.
With Seth, it's just two guys that don't like each other and
Seth just talks some crap that he shouldn't be talking.
And we're at that point where I wanna hurt him physically, mentally, emotionally,
he does too.
