"And I'm not immune to all the news, everything that's happening, what will happen, what won't happen. All I can tell you is this: I'm the right man for the job, I'm the best man for the job. I'm heading to the Royal Rumble, I'm gonna go back-to-back, and I'm gonna bring a championship back home to Atlanta." [0:57 - 1:22]
