In this interview Kevin Owens talks about whether or not NXT should be represented in the WWE Draft and on WWE PPV: "They were able to draft people from an NXT, but you never saw a Raw or SmackDown superstar moved in a draft to NXT (in the past). I think that should be the case. I think we should be able to take from NXT, and NXT should be able to take from Raw and SmackDown, because I think the level of competition is just as... It's extraordinary over there. I don't see why we wouldn't be able to do that. As far as the pay-per-views go, though, I actually don't think NXT should be added to the current pay-per-views, because there's already so little spots on the pay-per-views, and there's so many guys and girls, on Raw and SmackDown, that deserve a spot. If you add the NXT on top of it, it's going to be tricky to fit everybody, unless we go back to the six hour marathons we used to have. The NXT Takeovers are really successful, and really great. You know, I wouldn't mind seeing one or two more of those every year, so that, like I said, there's also a pretty deep roster in NXT. A lot of guys and girls deserve spotlights there, as well." Here's another KO interview with Fightful.

It's Sttiiiiiinngg!  You'll discover exactly how he came to be at AEW, and all that went into The Icon's surprise debut. Sting recounts his conversations with Tony Khan, his first steps backstage at Dynamite, walking through Gorilla on his way to the ring, the snowfall at Daily's Place and fans' reactions to his appearance. He also shares stories about the evolution of his character (from neon surfer Sting to The Crow version), his relationship with Dusty Rhodes and the Rhodes family, his early days tag teaming with Jim Hellwig (aka Ultimate Warrior) and what Hacksaw Jim Duggan said to him the first time they met! 

STING QUOTES:

AEW Snow Entrance

"I've made every kind of entrance under the sun. I mean, they've done everything except shoot me out of a cannon, but I gotta tell you, snow is a first for me. Winter is coming, and it is so cool. I've had more people say, ‘Oh dude! The snow! That is awesome.'"

AEW Roster

"Some of the matches that I have seen are the most incredible, athletic, high-paced - I don't know how many false finishes. They got the crowd rockin' and rollin' on every single match it seems."

AEW Talent

"When I first started, I didn't want to do and be like the generation before me. I wanted to be different, and I was, and these guys I'm watching do the same thing. They're different. They've changed the psychology, you know, how they tell a story, and they're good. Very innovative."
