There’s a lot of outside influence coming into WWE. With all of this money coming in from their partnership with Saudi Arabia - and seeing the likes of Shawn Michaels coming out of retirement to appease a pay-per-view outside the US - do you think there's a weird dynamic happening at the moment?

"We’re watching the WWE do an eighty-million dollar event in Saudi Arabia in the same week as the first ever women’s pay-pay-view. I mean... come on!

I get the outside money, I get the touring thing, but what they’ve got to remember is that their ratings in America and their ratings in the UK are not dropping because everybody’s watching it on digital platforms.

I don’t want to watch Triple H and The Undertaker. I didn’t want to watch it in 2006!"
