Booker T has called out the New Day as “bullies” stealing spots from full-time NXT Superstars, ahead of their title match tonight.
At NXT Deadline, the New Day will challenge NXT Tag Team Champions Pretty Deadly, a match that was made official after the former RAW Tag Champions appeared on this week’s show.
Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker jokingly shared his thoughts on the established main roster Superstars coming to NXT. He said,
“I don’t like it, I don’t like it at all. I mean, these guys are camera hogs. They can’t get no love on the main roster. So, they gotta’ come over to ‘NXT’ and try to, there again, steal some camera time. It’s just one of those things, man. I don’t like seeing bullies pick on people, and that’s what The New Day has become as of late. They’ve become bullies coming over to ‘NXT.’ So, that’s what I would label them as, bullies.”
Despite his criticisms, Booker said that Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods are the favorites in their match with Pretty Deadly.
NXT Deadline will also see NXT Champion Bronn Breakker defend against Apollo Crews, as well as the first-ever Iron Survivor Challenge matches.
