Triple H recently spoke to Sports Illustrated to hype tonight's episode of NXT on the USA Network and was once again quizzed about concerns that Vince McMahon could become heavily involved with the brand now it's on cable television. Asked if that could be a positive or negative, The Game came up with a very interesting response.
"Everything that happens within WWE has Vince's fingerprints on it. There is no NXT without Vince. It wouldn't exist without him. He wants NXT to be different, something for the more passionate fan base. It's a darker, grittier feel, it's different. He totally understands that. But he has no desire to be in the day-to-day operations. Vince has a lot of other things on his plate."
Talk then turned to the fact NXT will be going head to head with All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite tonight and Triple H was quick to point out that NXT's biggest competition comes from within itself.
"To be truly great at something, you make the competition in and of yourself," Triple H said. "For me, the competitive juices are always flowing, but the greats don't just rise to the occasion. If you're truly great, you deliver all the time. The competitive nature of it, for me, is internal. As NXT has grown in the past five years, we've been on Wednesday nights and we've been doing TakeOvers. The challenge is competing among ourselves."
"That's a challenge, but I love creating the competition amongst ourselves," he added when asked to comment about the two shows facing off tonight. "I want Wednesday to be the best NXT no matter what, whether there is another show on against us or not. I want to put on the absolute best show every time we're on the air."
