NXT STARS TALK USA NETWORK DEBUT AND MORE WWE NEWS & NOTES

WWE NXT Champion Adam Cole was interviewed by Fox News.  When asked about the series going head to head with All Elite Wrestling, Cole said, "You know, obviously with this event on Wednesday and the other promotion has an event on Wednesday, people are going to make comparisons [and] talk about both shows. But I can tell you this — I don't mean to speak for them, but I have a strong feeling this is how they feel because I know "NXT." We're solely focused on making sure that "NXT" is the best possible show that we possibly can. And I'm sure those guys feel the exact same way. So in turn, of course, it's exciting for the wrestling fans. They get to compare. They get to watch both events which is awesome, but they're focused on making sure their show rules. And I know we're focused on making our show rule and in turn again just really exciting for everybody."

Bianca Belair did an interview with Channel Guide Magazine promoting NXT on USA Network.  When asked about the different environment of going to live weekly TV, she commented, "I don’t think there has been much that is different than before. Although NXT was known as a developmental brand. The main goal before was to get to Raw and SmackDown, so the whole point of getting to NXT was to prepare us. The call could come at any time. The term we used to use was “getting called up.” That phone call could have happened at any time. So, the whole point here was to always be ready. We’re ready. We’ve been preparing for this since day one. Now that NXT is the third brand and not the developmental brand, we are a brand that can stand on its own. We’re ready and will keep doing what we’ve always been doing."
