A long step away from “developmental system down in Florida.” From the first #NXTArRIVAL on @WWENetwork to a weekly television show on @USA_Network. Congratulations to @WWE and @WWENXT! https://t.co/zJNt5FANBI

I’ve said since the beginning that I was going to do everything in my power to help get NXT the recognition it deserved.. but I couldn’t do it by myself. WE built this thing, WE made the world take notice and now WE are gonna make history.
