"I wanted to express gratitude to everyone that has supported me, throughout not just my pro wrestling career, but in my life," Shelley said. "That's friends. That's co-workers and that's family ... We did it. What I was able to accomplish last Friday night on Smackdown was a dream come true. I can now say that I'm not just a physical therapy technician. I'm not just a strength and conditioning coach. I'm not just a friend or a brother or a punk rocker or an artist. Now I'm a WWE Superstar and to be able to verbalize that has a very, very deep and profound sense of power here (his heart)."
