just cause your nana knitted you a sweater doesn’t mean she’s started a clothing line, bruh.
WWE offered me a record deal, to which I politely declined because I have no interest in the music business! My interest was in managing wrestlers.

WWE offered me a record deal, to which I politely declined because I have no interest in the music business! My interest was in managing wrestlers. And that’s all I’ve ever expressed. I made some songs last year for fun & videos with my colleagues from Cirque du Soleil and
