Yes!
Page 31
The “Yes!” Movement makes history in March 2014 during an “Occupy Raw” stunt that leads to me fulfilling my childhood dream at WrestleMania 30.
More than 75,000 people in New Orleans celebrate my WWE World Heavyweight Championship win in the main event of WrestleMania 30. “Yes!”-ing with those two titles is harder than you’d think.
Just a few days after WrestleMania 30, I marry Bri on Friday, April 11, 2014. Our outdoor ceremony and celebration takes place in the beautiful nature of Sedona, Arizona.
