The fact is I'm always going to have naysayers. You're always going to have haters. It really doesn't bother me because I just rise above it.

I was just a young kid from Parma, Ohio, and I went to college at Miami University of Ohio.

WWE is my first love.

I know how to make noise; I really do. I'm really good at it.

My goal is to make the WWE championship as relevant and prestigious as it should be.

I am sick of people sitting there saying, 'Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz.' He doesn't deserve to be in the ring with me. He's not at the level that I am.
