The most passionate fans are from India, and I hope that I can motivate more Indians to pursue wrestling - or any athletics, for that matter - and become champions.

WWE is a global juggernaut; it is the pinnacle. It is a global entity. You have superstars from Australia, China, Japan.
I am first one in the gym, I do cardio before I have breakfast, and I am training hard every day.
My favorite growing up was Bret Hart. I just idolized him when I was a child; he was my hero.
I was really into sports, playing track and field, amateur wrestling, volleyball, and soccer. I was a very active kid and teenager.
My uncle wrestled in the late '80s to early '90s, and I was too young to see his matches. However, he has always supported me in my journey, and I think that without his support, all this would not have been possible. He taught me a lot, and he is the reason that I'm a WWE wrestler.
I wrestled Tyler Breeze one time when there was, like, 20 people at the show.
I believe Randy Orton is one of the greatest of all time.
I'm really proud to represent both cultures, Canadian and Indian, and hopefully I'm making both countries proud as WWE champion.
Definitely, as an Indian, I'm seen as an outsider, and definitely, the jeers come from that. But I enjoy it; I even encourage it. Whatever noise they make when I'm in the ring, it motivates me, drives me to do better.
I eat 30/40 grammes of carbohydrates, 30/40 grammes of proteins with every meal.
Honestly, nothing tastes as good as feeling good.
The sky is truly the limit for WWE.
I think I am the most dominant superstar in WWE.
My transformation represents more than what is just skin deep; it represents my motivation, drive, and willingness to constantly improve.
'SmackDown Live' is a great place with a great roster and many talented superstars.
I eat every two hours to balance my diet.
Every day is a blessing in WWE, and I keep reminding myself of that. That's my character.
Every day in WWE is blessing, and every day, I have to outwork my competition.
I want to retire, when it's all said and done, as one of the greats.
As long as I can remember, I was a WWE fan. I wanted to grow up and be a WWE superstar just like my favorites.
WWE sees India as huge opportunity and wants to continue to build its base.
I learned Punjabi before I learned English in spite of the fact that I was born in Canada.
When I started wrestling, I was still in high school.
I believe that every WWE superstar is in charge, 100 percent, of his own destiny.
I'm very proud to represent the great nation of India.
When I originally debuted in 2011, I was on 'SmackDown.' At the time, they were separate from 'RAW,' so I feel at home on 'SmackDown.'
Instead of fantasizing about food, I'm fantasizing about the WWE championship.
I'm fantasizing about being the best superstar I can be and improving.
WWE is growing every day, every week, and every month.
Wrestlemania 34 was a huge moment for me both professionally and personally.
When I came to WWE - I got signed when I was 23. When I was on 'SmackDown' roster, the main roster, I was 24. I wasn't ready for those responsibilities. I wasn't - I wasn't seasoned enough as a wrestler, as an in-ring performer.
I knew that I'd be able to climb the mountain, but in such a short period? I didn't think so. I mean, 'SmackDown Live' is the land of opportunity, and I'm a living proof of that.
I don't eat any junk food.
Calgary prides itself on being a wrestling town.
I want to cement my own legacy and, most importantly, motivate the youth of India and make all of India proud.
I have no problem with Brock Lesnar being a part-timer, because he's earned that spot. He's a multiple time champion in WWE, a former UFC Champion, NCAA amateur wrestling champion, so his accolades speak for themselves.
One of my goals is definitely to motivate the youth towards sports. Whether it's arts or academics, I just want to let them know that anything is possible. To think that I grew up as a WWE fan and now I'm a WWE champion proves that through hard work anything really is possible.
Personally, I am hoping being champion will increase the WWE Universe in India because I know that Indian fans are really passionate, and I want to be WWE Champion in India.
I'm Punjabi and speak Punjabi fluently and know all the Indian customs and everything.
I know the way WWE works. Things change last minute.
There's a huge Indian population here in Toronto. Also, Calgary, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Edmonton - Canada really is a great multicultural country.
I'm from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and my family is Punjabi.
The Singh Brothers are good. I've actually known them for a long time.
There is no food in the world that gives you a better feeling of walking around with veins bulging out, six-pack abs. It's the best feeling in the world.
Daniel Bryan had the 'Yes' Movement. That was phenomenal.
WWE is such a universal form of entertainment. I believe that you can watch WWE in mute and still know what is going on.
My rise in WWE was kickstarted by my physical transformation.
I want to be one of the greatest champions of all time. And it's a good pressure - I need this pressure. Because if pressure is making me work, if it's making me work harder - it was hard work to get to the championship, to win the championship.
I drink protein shakes when I travel. That is how I maintain myself, and I exercise six days a week.
