WWE: Triple H on NXT’s Move to Tuesdays, Sami Zayn on Advice to Talent New to WWE, WWE Untold

Triple H Comments on NXT’s Move to Tuesdays on USA Network

Variety held an interview with Paul “Triple H” Levesque and one of the topics discussed included his thoughts on NXT’s move to a new weekly date of Tuesdays on the USA Network.

“We now feel like we’re in a good place where we can move that consistent fanbase over to Tuesdays. We believe they’ll follow us. That way we can grow the brand more given the lead in from ‘Monday Night Raw,’ which we’ve seen in the past.”

Triple H also gave his thoughts on how WWE’s recent deal with NBC for the WWE Network moving to Peacock can be beneficial for the company’s NXT brand.

“The ability for us to be on [Peacock], a bigger platform where so many more people have the opportunity to experience it and and to let it grow into something more, is very exciting…And once you sample it, we believe that the product is something that people will stick with and become involved in.”

Sami Zayn Comments on Advice He’d Give to Talents New to WWE’s System of Wrestling

A recent episode of the Gettin Better with Ron Funches podcast had Sami Zayn as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Zayn’s advice to talents who sign with WWE and are new to WWE’s system of wrestling.

“So this is something I’ve been saying to some wrestlers who struggle sometimes the way I kind of did when they get to WWE: I told them you almost have to look at WWE for example, or like big time show business type stuff, movies. Maybe it’s all the same. I think it is but whatever. I don’t know for sure. It’s almost two separate art forms. It’s like if you’re a painter and I give you a blank canvas and all the colors you could ever want and I go, ‘Paint me a masterpiece.’ Alright, if we hire ten great artists, you’ll probably get ten great paintings. But working with WWE and working within all these constraints and working within a very specific framework, it’s almost like being a great painter and being handed a coloring book with three or four different colors and say, ‘Okay, here you go. Make sure to color within the lines but what you do with it is up to you,’ and anybody — I’m not saying anybody but any great painter could paint a great piece on a blank canvas. But how good can you make this coloring book look. It’s like a totally different — it’s almost a different art form. It’s how good could you work with handcuffs on? How good could you work within this really, really tight box when we gotta check five or six different goals in three or four minutes and still make it good, you know what I’m saying? It almost became a totally different art form that I don’t think everybody can do. You can be a great wrestler and still not be a great WWE wrestler because it’s almost a different — it’s almost a different ballpark all together.”
