I think NXT has opened up the doors for a lot of guys to come in and create different opportunities.
The monster that NXT has grown into is nothing short of unbelievable.
In my opinion, NXT has a niche audience.
I got a large fanbase just from NXT itself. It's an amazing brand.
For a long time, we had Raw and SmackDown, and there wasn't really anything else. The NXT Universe kinda opened up channels for wrestlers to come in from the independent circuits, like myself.
A lot of people always say, 'Oh, people down there in NXT' or 'Down there' as if it's... yeah, it's like a farming system for WWE, but they've done such a great job over the years making their own brand.
NXT is the top roster in the world as far as I'm concerned, the work ethic and fans.
I'm very proud of 'NXT.'
My first remit when I came to WWE was to help build up NXT as a global brand. It was a mission that I took on fully and was more than willing to attack, and lo and behold, here we are.
Now, I don't even consider NXT a developmental system. It's its own brand. So many guys were able to develop a following while in NXT.
NXT really built some momentum and became something pretty special.
When I left NXT, I was kind of mad that I was never NXT champ, so when I got to the main roster, that was my first goal.
I've main-evented the most matches in NXT history.
I'd like to go to NXT, be NXT Champion.
We all just want NXT to be the best product we can do. I don't care about what's going on anywhere else, we just get on with what we do, which is competitive pro wrestling and that's what NXT is.
I love being the NXT Women's Champion.
In a perfect world, I'd end up at NXT.
To me personally, I love the NXT brand.
