American - Wrestler

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

Emma gave me some of my favorite matches - the NXT Women's Tournament and then NXT ArRIVAL.

Paige

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 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.

Baron Corbin

We've seen smaller guys in main event fights, and they do well. It just takes the right combination of people I think. I think Dominick Cruz v. T.J. Dillashaw could have main-evented a PPV and done pretty good.

Daniel Cormier

I've main-evented WrestleMania a handful of times, but it never gets old. It's the same with nerves.

Randy Orton

Bayley helped me a lot in my career, especially in NXT. I had some of my best NXT matches with her, and she definitely helped me develop as a talent, because you're just as good as the person you're in there with.

Alexa Bliss

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

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

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

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

Baron Corbin

I went from two-minute matches when I started with NXT to eight, to 10, to 12.

Sasha Banks

I main-evented a sold-out Budokan Arena show; I participated in the first-ever ladder match in NJPW, made the transition from junior to heavyweight, and earned a G1 win with a series full of performances that I'm personally very proud of.

Kenny Omega

I came into my teens unaware that most Americans, blacks as well as whites, were ignorant of the main facts of Negro history. And so it was the facts of other histories that I found most intriguing. I fell into a U.S. history major by chance late in my second year at Fisk University.
