Laila AliAs far as my sport is concerned, my mission is to make it as big as it deserves to be. We've been growing, it's just not as noticeable.

Vijender SinghI am the best wrestler in the world. I've been the best ever since day one when I walked into this company, and I've been vilified and hated since that day because Paul Heyman saw something in me that nobody else wanted to admit.
