You can watch the full interview above, here are some excerpts from the interview:
The last year since he debuted with the WWE
"It's been a whirlwind. I always expected to be successful. I don't remember being a child and plan on doing anything but what I'm doing right now. I was kind of born to do this and this past year has been rewarding. I like the grind of things. I like to keep my ear to the ground and just keep moving forward. It's been crazy but I expect it to get much crazier as it continues with my career and my growth and a unit especially."
If Bray Wyatt is really him just amplied
"Right. 100%. I couldn't create something if I didn't feel it. When I say things, when I speak on television, I'm not making stuff up. I'm not like sitting in the back with a notepad thinking 'maybe this will make them think I'm crazy'. That's how I really am you know? My views on this and that, which I really don't want to delve into, but my views are that of the real me. There is no character. I think that's the biggest mistake people think when they approach me, they think 'you're some character you know, I love the character you play'. You don't really know who I am."
If he told people that he will be back after Husky Harris was written off of TV
"Whatever that person was, Husky Harris, that ain't me. It never was. And I may have said that, I may not have, I don't recall. But I wanted a chance to show everyone who I really was. I'm not my father, I'm not my grandfather, my uncles or my brother even. I am what I am... whoever that person was a few years ago, it was a shell of a man that never really existed at all."
