He is a fan of the Seattle Seahawks and was given control of the team's Twitter account for an hour-long Q&amp;A in January 2015. He also donned Seahawks-themed wrestling attire at SummerSlam 2018. A self-described environmentalist and anti-consumerist, he has discussed feeling like a hypocrite for selling WWE merchandise, and endorsed Green Party nominee Jill Stein in the 2016 presidential election.
