You are traveling together, you are communicating when you're not at work, when you're not at the arenas. So now to have that guy who stood by your side day in and day out. And he betrays you in the ultimate way at WrestleMania to have those two men. I'm not sure anyone outside of his family has meant more to his career than those two men.

To have those two turn against him, look, there is no struggle for motivation at all. And I think a fired up, a focused Roman Reigns, a monster.

But what I love about Sami is he is one of the most earnest people you will ever meet in this industry. And it really just, it comes out so much on camera.

And look, we have so many larger than life characters and people with all different motives and whatnot. But I just love how when Sami speaks, and he speaks with passion, you feel it.

And he really was, for me, the MVP of the Bloodline for so long. The humor he brought, the change of pace he brought, he's incredible at what he does. And I think everyone is obviously very, very happy for Jay, but that Sami co-sign and the way he delivered it, it really solidified the whole, man, I love you, I'm proud of you. I got chills right now just thinking about that moment.
