FTR, the former Revival, made an appearance on Jim Cornette’s podcast where they spoke about their time in WWE.
During the interview, they recalled a segment that they had back on the 25 Anniversary episode of Monday Night RAW where they were attacked by some legends. Before the segment, they worked with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson.
After the match, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, X-Pac, Billy Gunn, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, and Road Dog came out to the ring and hit their finishers to the former WWE Tag Team Champions.
Regarding angle and whether Triple H changes his support for NXT talent once they move up to the main roster, Dax Harwood started out by stating that Triple H always had respect for them. He said that they were his guys due to their commitment to NXT.
He recalled how they did everything they could from hard work to having long matches to make NXT into what it became.
“When RAW 25 came along and we heard rumblings of that day about what we were doing and then we found out, it broke my heart man and I hope that doesn’t sound corny or cheesy.”
He ran through the spots before recalling the aftermath.
“We came to the back and I walked right through gorilla and I punched the wall. It was a brick wall and punched it as hard as I could and I started flipping out. I remember Cash just like grabbed me and he’s just like, ‘calm down it’s going to be okay it’s going to all right.’ I was in tears not because I was sad but that I was so upset and hurt because a guy that we had and we still do a guy that we had so much respect for, we couldn’t believe that he would allow that to happen to us. On the flip side of that, it’s not his company, you know, what I mean it’s he doesn’t call the shots.”
Cash Wheeler jumped in and stated that it wasn’t really the segment but the situation made before and after it. He recalled how no one aside from X-Pac looked at them. Only X-Pac came up and told them how big of a fan he was of them and thanked them for the bumps.
“You know that really hurt us. So I can’t say that you know anybody loses faith in Hunter. I’m not sure if we lost faith in Hunter that day as much as we just lost faith in that particular company in that particular business and we just knew from then on that wasn’t the place for us.”
