Neville Reveals Which NXT Star He Thinks Is Main Roster Bound, Talks Dream WWE Match, Transitioning From NXT and Much More

May 31, 2015

neville Female First out of The UK recently interviewed WWE star Neville to promote tonight’s WWE Elimination Chamber PPV, and below are some interview highlights:

How does that process work of going from NXT to WWE?

Right now, NXT is kind of a brand in itself. It’s a show that airs on the WWE Network and it has a huge, growing following. So what you’ll do is you’ll get signed to a developmental contract with the WWE to work in NXT, and then from that point on it’s very much on your own merit that you go forward, and if you impress and you find success on NXT, then you get scouted for the main product – for Raw and for Smackdown – and that’s what happened for me.

What would be your dream match-up – as in opponent, type of match etc.?

Again, it’s so hard to single one out. Obviously you know, when you talk about dream matches and you talk about the WWE, you can’t not mention John Cena. I wrestled John a few weeks back on Monday Night Raw, in one of my favourite, favourite matches that I’ve ever had. I feel like it was competed at a really high level and I feel like I surprised John with the fight that I brought. And also the end to that match was quite inconclusive, so I’d love the opportunity to do that again with John, perhaps on an even bigger stage than Monday Night Raw – maybe a pay-per-view or something – that would definitely be one of my dream matches. But there’s so many it’s hard to single out one, but John would definitely be one that springs to mind.

There’s obviously a lot of talent bubbling away in NXT, who would you like to make the move up next?

I think Finn Balor. He’s an incredible talent, and a man that I’ve known for, going on 10, 11 years, no, longer than that actually, probably about 14 years now. Not only is he an unbelievable talent but he’s a good friend of mine so I’d love to see Finn make the jump. I think he’s a very worthy candidate for the next jump, but you never quite know what’s gonna happen and that’s the beauty of WWE. You never know who’s gonna move where, when, you never know quite what’s gonna happen, so I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
