During a recent appearance on NBC Sports Boston’s “The Ten Count” podcast, former WWE Superstar JONAH (Bronson Reed in NXT) commented on Triple H pushing to move him up to the main roster prior to his release, his NXT North American title run ending earlier than expected, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his NXT North American title run ending earlier than expected: “I was told that, ‘Hey, you’re being put forward to move up to Raw or SmackDown. I started doing some dark matches and it seemed like that was the way they were going. So, as a fail-safe for them, they took the North American Championship off of me, thinking that’s where I was heading, but didn’t work out that way.”
On how Triple H pushed him for him to go to the main roster: “I was put forward by Triple H himself saying, ‘This is a guy that’s ready for Raw or SmackDown. That’s what I was told was going to happen, and as we’ve seen since then, a lot of people do dark matches or have ‘Main Event’ tapings to do and stuff like that and then eventually move to the main roster.”
