As speaking to the WWE’s official website, the 31-year-old Rooney said,

“It’s always been a dream of mine to be a wrestler ever since I was a kid,”

“I idolised The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin, not Alan Shearer or David Seaman.”

“The gaffer [Jose Mourinho] had talked about me following Bastian [Schweinsteiger] to MLS, but it’s not very good, is it? It wouldn’t be hard to score loads."

“I wanted a challenge instead and I think the WWE will be that.  All the lads in the dressing room have been great about it.”

“Zlatan [Ibrahimovic] has been telling me how he used to suplex Lionel Messi and [Paul] Pogba’s created a special version of The Dab as a finishing move for me, it’s brilliant.”
