Triple H On If Kenta, Steen, And Devitt Will Have To Change Their Names, Mick Foley And More

Triple H took part in a conference call this afternoon to promote NXT Takeover 2 tomorrow night. Here are some highlights from the call:

* Triple H said that he doesn’t like to refer to NXT as “developmental” anymore because it’s become its own brand. He put over the matches scheduled for Takeover 2 tomorrow night.

* He wants to bring up Kevin Steen and Prince Devitt in the biggest way possible and for them to become huge superstars.

* He compared NXT to ECW, and noted that it’s a feeder system for talent to reach the next level. He said the goal is for NXT to be more like WCW than ECW.

* As for NXT talents appearing on RAW and SmackDown more often, he noted that if that were to happen, then they would be WWE talents and not NXT.

* He talked about coming up with the idea for the Performance Center and pitching it to Vince McMahon.

* He was asked if Kevin Steen, Kenta or Prince Devitt would have to change their names. He said that they might change it, but admitted that they bring name value and that they had a following. While there may be changes, he doesn’t want to erase their past.

* Triple H was very happy with the performances on RAW by Adrian Neville, Sami Zayn, Tyler Breeze and Tyson Kidd. He talked about Zayn and noted how proud he was of Zayn’s progression.

* He talked about Mick Foley helping him grow as a performer, and said that Mick’s matches with him meant a lot of his career.

* He said that he’d like for NXT to continue to grow and go on the road.

* He finished the call by mentioning the passing of Sean O’Haire, and offered his condolences to O’Haire’s family on behalf of himself and the company.
