– Vaughn Johnson of Philly.com recently spoke with WWE NXT Champion Kevin Owens to promote the upcoming NXT live events in Philadelphia. The full interview can be found at this link. Below are highlights:
Returning to Philly:
โTo come with NXT as NXT champion is cool because the last time I was in Philly it was with Ring of Honor and I knew it was the last time Iโd be coming to Philly with Ring of Honor. In my head I didnโt know when Iโd be back in Philly. Now to do it with WWE, with NXT and as the champion, itโs a pretty good feeling.โ
Learning at the WWE Performance Center:
โEverything I knew, and I think I knew quite bit, it was still nothing compared to the wealth of knowledge that NXT and the Performance Center allows you to have access to. If you think you know everything when you get there youโre in for a big surprise. I didnโt know everything, I knew I didnโt know everything and I was so excited to get to learn from all of those people.โ
The NXT brand being praised:
โI think [the praise is] well-deserved. Everybody works so hard. I see it everyday. Thatโs the thing. People watch NXT once a week on the [WWE] Network, and they see one hour of the work we put in. I see every single day the people that are there working hard. The praise that we get is not surprising because we work really hard. Weโre going to put on a show Thursday with the knowledge that Friday we have to be better because we have to live up to what we do Thursday and we know weโre going to kick ass on Thursday, so Friday we have to make that even better and we will.โ
