That cape is kind of inspired by Randy Savage. I have it hooked to my wrist so that I have a full wing span. I planned to spin around in a full circle and let everybody see the whole cape and everything, but I couldn\u2019t hear my music anymore.\u00a0I heard \u2018Stand back,\u2019 and the crowd was so loud that I couldn\u2019t hear my music. I thought they cut it off. In my mind, if they cut it off, that means I have to get my ass in the ring. So that\u2019s why I cut my entrance short.\u201d He gives more details on how the Rumble appearance came about, plus he talks about the layout of the match and the idea for John Cena to eliminate him.
