What a phenomenal year. I’ve traveled the world, wrestled with @WAW_UK, trained with @USBSF, active US military, involved in a WWE movie, met incredible people, all while doing my best to be a great father and husband to my family. @pfair5 @MichaelPSHayes1 @NXTMattBloom @WWENXT pic.twitter.com/bbsafR2RvD
