You can check out some highlights from the interview below: On the growth of NXT: âThe original NXT, you just, you didnât know, you didnât ever knew, you thought that this was something you had to do and then you would go to the main roster and this was just, you know, part of the job, but to watch what that, what NXT became, I never would have seen it coming. Itâs just, itâs own entity, you know? To see where it was then to where itâs at now itâs unbelievable, you know? Packing out, you know, Barclays Center, you know, for the pay-per-views, like, I mean they, you know Triple H, you know heâs done such a great job with that product, you know, and itâs his baby. And itâs just so cool to see the vision unfold to what he has, or what heâs seen, and watch it just grow and become this, this monster you know? But when you look back, itâs just so cool, you know? You look and you, now you can appreciate it. Then you werenât really appreciating it because you were, you know, you were in the grind, you were clawing, and digging, and you know, you were doing whatever you could, just to kind of keep going, and now you look back at it and itâs like, wow man, like thatâs really damn cool, you know when, when I look at it, you know? Still the longest reigning NXT Champions I just found out, which blows my mind. You know, which is so cool, right? And, and to be around some of the talent that we got to be in the ring with, you know, Finn, Hideo at the time who we know as Kenta, you know, Too Cool, a just Big E, thereâs just so much talent we got to be in the ring with, and, and experience that, TJ! You know, you had TJ on your show, you know TJ was a part of that foundation, and just, itâs just so cool to look at what itâs become, and just to know that you were a part of that, itâs really humbling.â
