It's incredible what sleeping in your own bed every night,

working out whenever you want,

eating, how you want can do for you. So I feel good, man. Feel strong. Probably the best I felt

in like five years. Maybe the best you've looked in a long time too. Thank you. I appreciate that.

Thank you. You posted this photo on Instagram in March and you basically said like new chapter

and you're flexing and you look like you're ready to go. Yeah. What's that new chapter look like? You know, when I got that call about a year ago, the first thing I did was, like, immediately after that, I thought, okay, I'm taking a month of the gym because I've been going really hard. Like, in NXT, I made the decision, okay, it's the time now to get in the best shape in my life. So I did step up my workout regimen pretty intensely, like did cardio twice a day, worked out five days a week, wrestling three matches. And I did make good progress, but you can only maintain that for so long. And I just kept going, kept going, and then got called up to the main roster, so I definitely didn't want to slow down. And yeah, it's just one of those things where I got the call. I knew this was the first time, for sure, that I wasn't going to step in the ring for three months. So I definitely gave my body the break because I didn't get the results that I used to getting. My body started getting really stubborn. Like if I dieted, like things just didn't move it fast. So I gave my body a break, gave my mind a break, just been resting up a little bit. I live in Vegas, so there's always something to do. I like racing, I've always been Formula One fan, so I tried a couple of spots out there, and just took some trips, enjoyed the fruits of my labor, and just recharged, because I didn't want to come back too quick, I didn't want to get into things too quick, because I didn't want to have fast it, basically. So I gave myself the time, didn't really have a timeline in mind of how long I was going to be out for or whatever.

But then as time went by, batteries recharged.

I started feeling better and started working out again.
