“The travel is the hardest part about WWE, but it’s also the most fun of everything at the same time. Being away from home so much can be straining on relationships with your family and it can be pretty tiring.
But I always go through phases where for a few months I’m really excited to go on the road and see some new cities, then for a few months, I just want to be home.”
