In a new video released by WWE, several main roster superstars took a trip down memory lane to recall some of their favorite moments from their time in NXT. The video, released as part of the brand’s ongoing anniversary celebrations, features a host of former NXT Champions sharing the matches and memories that defined their time in the black-and-gold brand. The heartfelt reflections provide a unique look at the personal significance of the developmental system, which has produced some of the biggest stars in the industry today. The video showcases the deep connection that the performers have with the brand where they first made their name in WWE.
Reigning WWE United States Champion Sami Zayn chose his classic encounter with Shinsuke Nakamura at NXT TakeOver: Dallas in 2016, a match that is widely regarded as one of the greatest in NXT history.
“Wow, what an interesting time in my life this was. I was just thinking to myself on my way here, when was the last time I actually set foot in this building… and I’m pretty sure it was right here.”
Former NXT North American Champion Damian Priest fondly recalled his unique hot tub celebration after winning the championship at NXT TakeOver XXX. Bianca Belair highlighted a memorable in-ring segment that featured herself, Charlotte Flair, and Rhea Ripley. The Street Profits’ Montez Ford picked their first NXT Tag Team Championship win at NXT TakeOver XXV as his favorite moment. Finally, the veteran Tyler Breeze, who was a cornerstone of the brand for years, chose the very creation of NXT itself as his fondest memory, as he was able to witness its growth from the very beginning.
