Following the emotional moment, WWE interviewed the wrestler and Maverick posted the clip on his Twitter handle. When asked to share his feelings, the 37-year-old wrestler said, “Mixed Emotions. On one hand, I am over the moon, on one hand, I am disappointed I’m not standing here telling you that I am the champion, like I promised. I love this, I have always loved this. I took the opportunity and ran with it. I am disappointed that I am not standing here as a champion. But now there will be another day.”
