During a recent Q&A session on AdFreeShows, AEW Superstars 2point0 commented on the WWE NXT 2.0 relaunch, what they knew about the changes prior to their release, and more. You can check out some highlights from the Q&A below:
Matt Lee on his reaction to the WWE NXT 2.0 revamp: “I watched it. I liked it. I enjoyed the new presentation, it was cool seeing new faces. I’m happy for those guys.”
Jeff Parker: “Change is always weird, right? Especially when so you’re familiar with something and you like something. When it changes, it’s not always for you or the person, as a fan, it might not always be the best, but maybe it’ll work out, maybe it won’t. We don’t know yet. You do always have to try something different, sometimes, and this is what we’re getting. You look at the crop of new people coming through, they’re taking people from the PC and just throwing them in the deep end, sink or swim.”
Lee: “WCW used to do that, the classic Nitro entrance and then 99, they switch it. They’re getting their ass beat and did a whole entire makeover and started pushing younger talent. This is what companies do.”
Lee on whether they knew of any upcoming NXT changes prior to their WWE release: “It felt like something was happening. I remember in, I want to say March, they had us all take pictures and they took our weight and they made it sound like it was for licensing or something. Something seemed off. It felt like we were at the meat market.”
