TNA Wrestling Star Opens Up On Making WWE NXT Debut

WWE/TNA

A current TNA Wrestling star has opened up on recently making their WWE NXT debut as part of the recent crossovers.

In recent months, there has been a lot of crossover between TNA and WWE NXT, with Jordynne Grace, Joe Hendry, The Rascalz and more appearing on NXT television, while Wes Lee, Tatum Paxley, Wendy Choo and more have also made appearances in TNA.

On July 9, Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz made appearances on NXT, where they talked former partner Wes Lee out of his retirement, before going on to compete in a number of matches for the brand.

The matches were a return to the brand for Wentz, who was previously a part of NXT as part of MSK under the name Nash Carter, while they marked the first appearance in WWE for Trey Miguel.

Speaking to Fightful, Trey Miguel opened up on making his WWE debut, saying:

“Man, you see like that breath I took right there? I really was just taking back thinking about it. Going out there for the first time, come August 1st, this will be 15 years for me. Growing up, I mean, like, yes, I love TNA. I love TNA through and through. I have TNA branded on my skin for life, right? But from the age of four, I was a WWE fan and like, that’s what made me want to, like, oh my God, I wanted to be a pro wrestler so bad. The moment we got out there and I looked to my left and there’s a big NXT banner and there’s Wes right in front of me.

“Knowing that my brother ever wanted to do was see me succeed in this—I’m sorry, I’m getting emotional. But the last thing my brother ever did for me was buy me a ticket to WWE. I’m the youngest. I was the youngest of nine for 16 years, you know what I mean? All my brothers love pro wrestling. I was a baby and like the fact that I like even got in this, I turned a freaking garbage can or a garbage bag taped to the top of a door frame to a stage and to lights into the WWE logo just like I can’t stop living in that moment, man.

“To be there with my brothers after like it seemed like it was never possible to even like share a ring and to do it there and then have Wes’s home coming last night—these past two weeks have been the best two weeks of my entire life, bro. I’ve been through so much this year, things that I won’t talk about on here. There’s no need to do that, but I will never give up on pro wrestling just based off on these two weeks. This is actually what dreams are made of.”
