Triple H Breaks Silence Over WWE NXT Superstars Who Have Joined AEW

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?

“If they have great gigs, I’m happy for them. I stay in touch with almost all of them. I like to think they came into us here, we taught them a lot, got them to (a higher level) where they learned how to do television, how to be professionals and all that to be successful there. At some point, they might come back with us, or they might never because they don’t fit our brand as well, but that’s OK. They got us to certain places, and I’m thankful for that, and they’re thankful for that, and they’re off to different things. But that doesn’t stop the train. People leave football teams, move to different teams all the time, and it’s great.”
