- WWE Superstar Dolph Ziggler spoke with the Evansville Courier & Press to promote this weekend's wWE Supershow there. Here are the highlights:

Becoming WWE Champion at the Royal Rumble:
"I think I'm in the best shape of my life, I think I look like a million bucks, I think if anyone were to represent this company as WWE champion, I don't think I can think of a better person who has been carved and cut out of stone to actually fit this bill."

"I feel I'm the best wrestler right now in the WWE. I'm planning on beating CM Punk this Sunday, taking the WWE championship. And you know what? I'm going to make him give me his shirt that says 'Best in the World' afterwards, too."

His rise to the top in WWE:
"It's been a slow, gradual build that they've started to realize I'm one of their go-to guys. I'm going to continue to build on that and be their absolute go-to guy. I want this championship, and I want to hang on to it for a very long time."
