“I was able to cash in a Money in the Bank contract in the middle of the main event and walk out of one of our biggest events as the World Heavyweight Champion. From a kid who had a dream to leave WrestleMania as a world champion, to actually do that with the fireworks going off. For me that’s a moment that always stands out.”
