As noted, Triple H held a media call this afternoon to promote Sunday’s WWE NXT “Takeover: Vengeance Day” event. You can click here for comments on The Velveteen Dream, Rick Steiner’s son, and more. Below are more highlights from the call:
* WWE Hall of Famer Edge wants to work more in NXT. Triple h said Edge has been talking to him for more than one year about coming to NXT to wrestle and to speak with the roster. He even provided a list of NXT Superstars he wants to work with. Edge wants to put over the younger wrestlers. He thinks Edge’s return has been done really well
* He said he would love for WrestleMania to include NXT every year, but if it could be balanced with everything else that is on the card. He loves NXT being a part of the show as it helps drive things forward with the brand
* He wouldn’t be opposed to NXT being in the Elimination Chamber matches but he likes the brands having their own gimmicks and it’s a good thing to keep them separate. NXT has War Games and NXT UK has the Heritage Cup
* He was asked about adding another women’s title. He said he’s not a big fan of having tons of titles in a company, but they’ll see where it goes. The women’s division could get so big another title is justified
* He didn’t know why Steve Cutler was released from his WWE contract but the company is taking COVID-19 very seriously, and they expect talent to do the same. He doesn’t know the situation that led to the departure but he’s heard the same stories and speculation going around
