During WWE’s recent tour of Singapore, The Straits Times interviewed King Barrett, Neville and Nikki Bella. Below are some interview highlights:
King Barrett Talks Difficulty of His King Gimmick:
“It depends on the opportunities afforded to me by our writing team. So far, I feel I haven’t been the focus of the show but hopefully, that’s going to change in the next few weeks or months. Hopefully, I get some solid storylines so that I can show what I can do.”
On how his physique has changed since returning from injury:
I’ve changed my diet a lot. Believe it or not, I was a lot bigger and stronger before than I am now. My body fat is a lot lower now. I dropped about 25 pounds (11kg). I’ve focused on being as lean as I can. I improved my died by dropping a lot of carbohydrates like bread, rice and pasta and now I’m eating a lot more fruits and vegetables. I’m about 225 pounds now (102kg).
Neville on the popularity of NXT:
“NXT is something fresh, something different. There’s a brand new array of characters you’ve never seen before. If you like the in-ring action, NXT is very much up your street. It’s got a lot of young, hungry superstars eager to make a name for themselves. It’s the future.”
Nikki Bella on playing a heel vs a face:
“The bad girl is so much more fun. You can have so much more personality and get really creative. When I see the kids out there, the Bella army, they make me want to play the good girl. But overall, being bad is so much more fun.”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
