Former WWE Star Confirms Recent Producing Opportunity

WWE

Former WWE star Kalisto (Samuray Del Sol) was reportedly backstage at several NXT live events back in November 2022.

Kalisto coached at the WWE Performance Center that week, and served as the producer for several women’s matches at that Friday’s live event.

Speaking to Renee Paquette on The Sessions, Kalisto confirmed his recent opportunity to produce for NXT, as well as what he learned from the experience.

He said:

“I got an opportunity to train as a coach on NXT. Seeing that view from that side, I learned a lot more. I produced two matches. It was great. Me, Terry Taylor, and Norman (Smiley) as producers. From that view, and producing a match, it was great. I learned so much.

“I’m a hands-on person. So when I was in there, I like showing the moves and bumping for them. The stuff they’re doing now, it’s great. Being on that side of the producing team, it made me realize that if I was producing myself, I would be like, ‘Be more happy, jump, do something on this time. Lucha, lucha, right time.’ I would correct myself and my timings from the beginning to the end. I would critique myself and see my own self back when I started at NXT and be like, ‘Don’t be nervous.’ I would say to myself, ‘More character.’ I was screaming, I lost my voice the whole time. I was really excited to work with everybody in NXT.”

During his appearance, Kalisto spoke about the backstage heat he received in AEW following a tweet about the late Brodie Lee.
