Raw on Monday was the result of 16 years of hard work, preparation & a lot of help from a LOT of people I've been fortunate to learn from.

But trust me, I am under no illusion that the hard work is done. Monday was 1 night, This Is Just The Beginning…

..And if it takes another 16 years to get where I want to be, at the very top, that is what I am willing to give. I AM ALL IN#Real
