I would love to be able to compete against Raquel Gonzalez. She debuted on NXT TakeOver: Portland helping Dakota Kai defeat Tegan Nox and I would definitely like to stand toe-to-toe with her at an NXT TakeOver event.

Rhea Ripley

We took pride in representing where we came from, took pride in being from small places, and places all around the world and being able to come together and make ourselves into a team, into a group of guys with one goal and get that done.

Tim Duncan

Bodybuilding has been my life; if it weren't for bodybuilding, I don't know what I'd be doing. I look at bodybuilding as who I am.

Tom Platz

To be able to be the first person from NXT to defend their NXT Championship at WrestleMania is awesome and I love making history.

Rhea Ripley

Now, I don't even consider NXT a developmental system. It's its own brand. So many guys were able to develop a following while in NXT.

Shawn Spears

I respect Asuka for all she's done in her career all over the globe and for what she's done here in NXT in such a short amount of time, but this is my home. The pride she has in Japanese wrestling, I have in NXT.

Bayley

The whole reason I did a bodybuilding show was to see how far I could push my own discipline. It was the hardest thing I've ever done. When I made the switch to acting, I was able to break that down into small, measurable goals like I did with bodybuilding.

Matt McGorry

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

It's been a long road for me coming from NXT. I've been with NXT for almost four years, and just getting to WWE, and now being able to travel with them, I kind of have to make new friends and get hotel rooms and travel in different cities every single night. It's very different, but it's so much fun.

Bayley

I have a 50 per cent chance of still being able to compete as an able-bodied athlete. But if not, I will compete as a paralympian.

Kadeena Cox

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

Baron Corbin

The bodybuilding world has lost one of its greatest legends. I had a chance to speak with Steve Michalik a year ago at The Upper State Bodybuilding competition. We laughed and shared our personal opinions about bodybuilding [today's scene and how it was in the past]. Steve, we'll miss you. R.I.P.

Lee Haney

I began bodybuilding shortly after I watched a couple friends compete at a state show and thought it would be cool to try.

Phil Heath

NXT has been great to me. I love being able to wrestle the way I want to wrestle and be who I want to be. NXT is this amazing platform to do that.

Pete Dunne

It's the flip side of illegal success. This man [Pablo Escobar ] turned a small-time drug thing into a large industry. An international, successful industry. And he almost took a country, Columbia, he took it almost hostage, took over it. It was incredible.
