On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, WWE NXT Superstar Lexis King clarified his attack on Eddy Thorpe earlier this week on WWE NXT TV.
Following his second loss to Thorpe, King allowed his frustrations to influence his actions, striking Thorpe’s hand with his cane after trapping it between the ring steps.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his attack on Eddy Thorpe: “I sure hope that I broke the hand that he uses to mix up that devil music, that EDM bullcrap because let’s be honest, a guy like that, I think it was just last week, we had a TV taping on Tuesday and [‘NXT’] wanted to film something on Monday. ‘Oh, no, I got a DJ gig. I’m gonna be out at the club.’ I said, ‘All right, well, we’ll go there and film it. We’ll put you on the spot.’ Because, to me, you’re not putting the business first. You’re out there, you’re playing your music, you’re partying, you’re drinking the night before we have a TV show.”
On what he thinks of Thorpe: “You’re not putting pro wrestling first. I’m putting pro wrestling first. This guy is a degenerate, and I’m doing this business a favor by taking him out and crippling his ability to go out there and enjoy his little hobbies.”
