Blake Howard interviewed Dion Lennox earlier this week.
Blake asks what does being picked by John Cena mean.
He says he was pushed around and was treated like a joke. They did not know him. He had to find three guys like him. Cena seeing him as a dominant force means he is doing something right. He is not here to be someone else, but to be Dion Lennox.
Blake asked about relinquishing his part of the tag titles.
He says he wants to keep the titles in the group. Why not bring singles gold into the family. He isn't going to split his focus. When one eats, they all eat. He is going to prove John Cena right on Saturday.
Blake brings up the change in his demeanor.
He says it is still there. You push him hard enough you will find out. He says he is getting what he deserves. He will be one match from becoming NXT Champion. If he doesn't get it done, the blame is on him. If he wins, there is no one else but him.
Dion is asked about who he wants to face if he wins.
Dion says he waited a long time to say what he said to Oba. He wants to face Oba Femi for the title. Nothing will be more satisfying than beating the one who made all of this happen.
