WWE COO Triple H has said he is happy for those ex-NXT Superstars who have gone on to compete for AEW.
Several names who made it big in NXT have joined AEW, including Keith Lee, Adam Cole, Andrade El Idolo, Swerve Strickland and Samoa Joe.
Speaking about the NXT alum who now compete for Tony Khan, the Game told The Athletic that there are no hard feelings:
“I like all those guys. They helped us get where we needed to get, and I’m thankful for it. The truth is there was a period of time where we were trying to build NXT. We built NXT. Then we were trying to build a brand that could get a television show and sustain it. All those names helped us get there. Whether anybody believed or not they fit on “Raw” or “SmackDown,” those aren’t necessarily my decisions solely, and they’re Vince’s (McMahon) decisions and fans’ decisions; and then, can we continue to do business with them?
