A Quote by Baron Corbin

When I left NXT, I was kind of mad that I was never NXT champ, so when I got to the main roster, that was my first goal.

You might be sitting at NXT for six years. But, if you're sitting there at NXT for six years, and they haven't called you to the main roster, then you're not doing something right. That's just my opinion.

Goldust

I want to do something that has never been done, and that's become the first two-time NXT Champion. In a sense, that's a strange distinction to want, but that has to be my goal while I'm in NXT.

Sami Zayn

NXT prepares you for literally everything for the main roster. They probably over-prepare you.

Alexa Bliss

The atmosphere we get with NXT and NXT fans, they're a die-hard group. They care deeply about NXT.

Baron Corbin

I think I have done everything I can here in NXT, and I do want to test myself on the main roster.

Bayley

I wasn't in NXT for very long, but what I learned there was very valuable once I got onto the main roster - how to communicate to a larger audience, stuff like that.

Kevin Owens

If I'm studying in NXT and trying to make it to the main roster, I would be watching Randy Orton.

Goldust

The main thing is that everything is taped at Full Sail. It is kind of like competing on home turf every time in terms of the tapings and specials. The main roster travels, I am in Hartford for live Smackdown, then head to Edmonton and Calgary and Denver. It is travel travel travel. NXT is more stationary.

Tyson Kidd

Lars Sullivan and EC3 are made for the main roster, more so than NXT. Obviously, Lars because he's just freakish in so many ways. But EC3, I look at him, and I look at his mannerisms, his mic skills: he's tailor-made for a good push on the main roster.

Sean Waltman

I would never write anything off the table. But my goal is to build my legacy in NXT and, with my legacy, build what NXT is.

Tommaso Ciampa

A different demographic of people watch NXT compared to Raw and Smackdown; NXT is followed by the real knowledgeable, hardcore internet audience, whereas the main shows have a more family feel.

Neville

The AEW roster has much bigger stars and better wrestlers frankly than the NXT roster.

Tony Khan

I didn't feel that I was ready to leave NXT. When I was called up to SmackDown, I was very nervous. I hadn't done many of the things at NXT that I thought I was supposed to. I didn't have a TakeOver match. I never held the title. I only had a few matches on NXT TV and to be called up and told, 'Well, here you go!'

Alexa Bliss

When I was in NXT, I never wrestled on a TakeOver. I didn't have too many high-profile matches: I probably wrestled about 10 matches in total on NXT TV, including the one championship match against Bayley, which was so much fun and my favorite match in NXT.
