Recently WWE decided to make some changes on their development territory and preferably the third brand of the promotion, the NXT. It is in existence for over a decade and the brand has earned a lot of fans throughout the ages. There are a lot of professional wrestling fans that always preferred the NXT over the main roster. It has produced some of the biggest names of professional wrestling right now.
Drew McIntyre Praises Some New NXT Talents
But the stake of NXT looked to be in jeopardy after the introduction of the All Elite Wrestling. The AEW was beating the NXT in ratings almost every week which was a huge matter of worry for Vince McMahon, the Chairman and CEO of WWE. In spite of being quite popular among the fans, it was not being able to compete with AEW in ratings. So Vince McMahon decided to take charge of the NXT and make some changes so that daw compete in ratings with the AEW.
The biggest change that Mr McMahon made since taking over the NXT was relying on the home grown talent more than big names from the independent circuit and other professional wrestling promotions like NXT used to do earlier. Among these new names Drew McIntyre praised some as he said that some of the new talents have caught his eye. He thought these new names have a long way to go.
Drew McIntyre who is also a former two times WWE Tag Team Champion recently spoke to Inside the Ropes where he talked about some of the NXT talents that caught his eye recently after the revamp of the NXT. He said;
“Yeah, I was watching the first show and live tweeting along as I was paying close attention. I was curious how the new format would look. There are some talents that really caught my eye. Steiner’s kid, Bron Breakker caught my attention right away. He is clearly an athlete of a high level. He looks great, talks like his uncle, which is awesome. I see a big future for him. If he stays on the right path [and] keeps working hard like he’s clearly doing.”
“The Creed Brothers, they certainly got my attention as well. So yeah, I’m excited to see what the future holds for NXT and potential future opponents and WrestleMania main eventers.”
“Stay the course, don’t get ahead of yourself. You don’t have to have everything right now, especially if you’re kind of inexperienced. Make the most of the time you’ve got in NXT, especially the non-televised shows. Remember, it’s 52 weeks a year. I used to drive myself crazy if everything wasn’t happening right now, but it’s the long game in WWE because we are nonstop, no reruns, no offseason, every single week.
“Just take your time, learn your craft, be patient, and don’t believe everything everyone says on social media be it positive or negative. Just listen to the people around you. They’ve been around for a long time and it’ll be fun.”
