Triple H recently spoke with Brian Campbell for the In This Corner podcast; you can read a few highlights below:
Triple H comments on the success of NXT on the main WWE roster:
“I think it speaks volumes to the system. I think it speaks volumes that it worked and that it’s still working. Obviously, I want it to improve and become better and better, but obviously it worked. Pretty much every match on the card at WrestleMania, I think with the exception of maybe one, have talent who came through the Performance Center. A lot of them have gone through NXT. It’s definitely working.”
HHH comments on the strength of NXT:
“If I had to pick one thing that I’m the most proud of is that [NXT] continues to roll. When we did the first TakeOver and we had a series of call ups and we lose talent, everybody said, ‘Ugh, this is the fatal flaw, you guys are done.’ I tried to say to them, ‘I don’t think it’s a flaw, I think it’s the strength. It’s on us to recreate, it’s on us to keep it fresh and it’s on us to keep it exciting.’ I believe that the talent can do that.”
HHH comments on the ups and downs of NXT, rewarding the fans:
“Does [NXT] have ebbs and flows? Absolutely. When we lost the entire women’s division except for Asuka, did it take us some time to reboot it? Absolutely. But that’s the exciting part, watching the evolution and watching that talent grow to become something more.
Our most passionate fan base are the fans that love NXT. Our most passionate fan base are the ones that can’t get enough of in-ring product no matter what we do or what it is, they just love sports entertainment in general. When we can keep feeding that passion, that to me is the most exciting.”
