Trent Seven recently spoke with The Mirror; you can read a few excerpts below:
Trent Seven on the WWE’s United Kingdom division picking up steam this summer:
Yeah, we’re approaching the summer season. For the last couple of years now obviously NXT has played a huge part in Download Festival, which was awesome to be on last year – another ‘what on earth?’ moment was last year I was on the shows at Download with NXT and the year before I bought a ticket to go and watch NXT at Download. But NXT and WWE UK being at Download Festival is going to be awesome. Also, I don’t know if there are many more superlatives to use to describe the fact that we’ve pretty much sold out two days at the Royal Albert Hall. It is going to be an incredible couple of days of wrestling.
WWE Announces NXT MEGA MATCH For UK Show Next Month
Trent comments on reforming Moustache Mountain in WWE:
Yeah it’s perfect. We’re just really happy they have let us run with it. We were a little bit unfortunate regarding the Dusty Classic, because Tyler was injured so we couldn’t compete in that one [Tyler Bate suffered a knee injury, which forced Moustache Mountain to withdraw from the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic in March]. But Pete Dunne and Roderick Strong did a pretty good job, well, up until what happened [Strong turned on Dunne at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans in April to hand the NXT Tag Team Championship to Undisputed ERA].
We just said ‘don’t worry, sooner or later something else will come up’ and it did, with this six-man match headlining the first night of the Royal Albert Hall, which is going to be something to see. I think a lot of wrestling fans are going to be looking forward to that.
Seven comments on fighting to earn a spot on NXT Takeover:
Yeah absolutely. The competition for those spots is obviously at a standard – it’s undeniable – it’s at a standard that has never been seen before. It’s literally a who’s who of professional wrestling over the last few years at one of those shows and at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans, every single person delivered, well above and beyond what I think anyone ever expected. It was an incredible show. The goal has got to be that.
If you’re here to take part, then that’s great, but realistically, this is the future of the industry, NXT is the future of professional wrestling, it is the future of the WWE, it’s where the stars are born and the stars are made. If you don’t want to be involved in the mix-up… let’s be honest, me and Tyler want the NXT tag titles, there’s no denying it. There is still the motivation of course to be chasing the best wrestler in the world for the UK Championship, that’s something I dearly, dearly want as well, so I think all roads lead to NXT TakeOvers.
