I have nothing but the utmost respect & gratitude for WWE, who always believed I could become a champion, regardless of race or nationality.
Tonight, my chance finally arrived.
I don’t have a tag partner, but I definitely have a wonderful family & home.

At last, I can call myself champion.
When I think about the tough & painful times, I was able to achieve this, largely in part to your support!
I am truly grateful for everyone who gave me courage.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much!
Living proof that through hard work, there are no limits to what you can accomplish. Happy Birthday to eight-time WWE Champion and The Most Electrifying Man in All of Entertainment, @TheRock!
