Eric Young recently spoke with NiagaraThisWeek.com to discuss his NXT debut, which aired on this week’s episode of NXT TV. Here are some highlights of what he said about:
His WWE Contract Status:
“We are working on contract stuff now, but there isn’t a final pen to paper yet.”
His NXT Debut Against Samoa Joe:
“It was in the works. I was supposed to go and talk with Hunter (WWE executive Paul Levesque). They reached out to me and there was an opportunity. Hunter and I hit it off right away, joking like we had known each other for 10 years. About half way through the day he called me aside to see if I’d be interested in doing a promo with the NXT champion Samoa Joe to start the show. I went and grabbed my stuff out of my rental and we got to business. The crowd reaction was insane. I figured it would be decent, but it was insane.”
