It's the second time I've held the title and I feel exactly the same as I did winning it the first time. The only thing that makes it that much sweeter is defeating Randy Orton.

"After everything we've been through, everything he put me through personally... to taking my title from me at Hell in a Cell, this bout fell pretty freaking good," he added, before turning his attention to his match with Roman Reigns at Survivor Series. "I think I've got the words for this one. You told me to go get a title, Roman. I went and got a title, see you Sunday."
