A Quote by Carmella

I didn't come from wrestling, and I never wrestled outside of WWE. So I'm kind of a homegrown talent. I learned everything from the performance center and NXT.

Triple H really prepares everybody for WWE in everything we do in NXT, and everything we do in the performance center is to prepare us for WWE.

Bayley

I am all about NXT because that was where I learned everything. I am a homegrown NXT talent.

Bianca Belair

The Dream didn't need to struggle. He's homegrown talent, straight from the WWE Performance Center, trained by the best coaches in the world: Norman Smiley, who's known from coast-to-coast, Matt Bloom, head trainer, and I am protege of the one-and-only The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels.

Velveteen Dream

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.

Carmella

As I say, there are many coaches in the Performance Center, and some like one thing, others like another. When I arrived I wrestled strong style, but they wanted me to do more of Mexican wrestling, like headscissors, planchas, dives outside the ring.

Andrade

There are people who think that wrestling is an ignoble sport. Wrestling is not sport, it is a spectacle, and it is no more ignoble to attend a wrestled performance of suffering than a performance of the sorrows of Arnolphe or Andromaque.

Roland Barthes

I kind of miss that whole NXT thing. When I was there, it was Florida Championship Wrestling with Seth Rollins and the other guys who were there. I wrestled on, like, local-access Florida TV in front of 30 people. It was a tiny little situation.

Dean Ambrose

I never was in a wrestling ring before I stepped foot into a WWE ring, so I am a product of NXT.

Enzo Amore

The hardest thing for me was probably the different roles in the Performance Center because when you go to the Performance Center and become a WWE Superstar, you're on a different schedule. But in the indies or in Mexico, you have your time.

Andrade

Once you start hearing a buzz about somebody, you want to check them out because you never know if, and, or when exactly, they may come to NXT because NXT obviously has the best talent in the world.

Roderick Strong

NXT is the part of the WWE that is about competition. It's not sports entertainment, it's the pro wrestling side and that's what we do.

William Regal

NXT is its own kind of animal, and you're never quite sure how much of that transfers over into WWE and into Monday Night Raw.

Finn Balor

Through my ventures in Australia, I wrestled current NXT Assistant Head Coach Sara Amato, who helped connect me with companies in the USA, where I also wrestled on the independent circuit.

Tenille Dashwood

Wrestling and WWE has given me a good opportunity as a talent. I just want to give back and give everything that I can now that I physically can't do this anymore.

Tyson Kidd

Ever since 'Tough Enough,' and getting put on 'Total Divas' right away, it was kind of like I never stopped. I was like, 'Okay, now I need to get to the Performance Center.' I needed to train and get the wrestling down.
