"Pressure, I understand what it's like to have pressure. I understand what it is like to do stuff when the world is watching so a few things that I always think about when it comes to scenarios like this to happen, when I was playing football, it happened when I was wrestling for some of the biggest wrestlemania of all time," added Seiuli.

"It happened in this crazy world of Hollywood, it happened outside of Hollywood and all this other industries.

"When it comes to pressure and when it comes to delivering, you have so so many people relying on you, and you have it all on your shoulders. I understand.
