He mentioned how it takes work and reflected on his life growing up as a kid with his pro-wrestler dad, WWE star Rikishi.

“When I was about a year into wrestling, I called my dad and told him I loved him and I couldn’t believe he did it for 15 years,” he said. “But you have to find a balance. You have a great family and a great job.”
