Paul Heyman Discusses Reasons For Upcoming WWE NXT Appearance

WWE

Tonight’s (October 10) episode of WWE NXT is set to go head to head with a special ‘Title Tuesday’ episode of AEW Dynamite.

Dynamite is set to feature the in-ring AEW debut of Adam Copeland (Edge) taking on Luchasaurus, as well as two championship matches.

NXT will feature appearances from John Cena, Cody Rhodes, Asuka, Paul Heyman and the Undertaker, with Heyman set to accompany Bron Breakker for his match with Carmelo Hayes, being accompanied by John Cena.

Speaking about his upcoming appearance on the show to Sports Illustrated, Heyman noted that the appearances from the many main roster stars on NXT was in part to call attention to NXT’s roster.

He said:

“The guest appearances on this show are merely to call attention to the enormously gifted talent pool that is offered to the viewer on a weekly basis every Tuesday night. I would humbly suggest this NXT roster can compete with any claim there has ever been a more significant or more talented roster.”

Cena and Heyman accompanying Hayes and Breakker for the main event is set to be the next chapter in Cena’s feud with the Bloodline.

Heyman would go on to explain the differences between Cena and the Bloodline, saying:

“John Cena is so comfortable in his righteousness that he would never be able to live with himself knowing the compromise of conscience that would be necessary to be a full-fledged member of The Bloodline. Besides that, he is a highly intelligent and savvy self-promoter.

“Cena could never accept that, in The Bloodline, he’d be number two behind Roman Reigns, if not number three behind Roman Reigns and Solo–if not number four behind Roman Reigns, Solo, and Jimmy Uso–if not number five behind Roman Reigns, Solo, Jimmy Uso, and Paul Heyman. Cena is an enormous attraction. He’s also smart. He knows he’ll always be positioned as number-one on the marquee against us, but never with us.”

Tonight’s NXT show will also feature Asuka facing off against Roxanne Perez for the first time ever.
