He watches Roman Reigns be the most dominant Champion and he is proud of that.

And his answer is he doesn’t know but he wants everyone to ride with big Jim. It’s a big year for big Jim, it might be Royal Rumble winner. He might go after the United States title. He says he might as well go after the WWE Undisputed Championship too. Big year in front of big Jim and nothing will stop him from doing what he likes to do.
