Triple H Talks About NXT Takeover 2, Cena Wanting To Fight Lesnar On Raw And More

Above is Triple H’s latest sit-down interview with Michael Cole. Below are some highlights:

* He said he understands Cena is looking for a fight on this week’s Raw at Louisiana’s Cajundome but added that he doesn’t think that Cena will make it to Night of Champions if he insists on provoking Lesnar any further at this juncture.

* Regarding NXT Takeover, Triple H expressed pride that the NXT stars featured on the season premiere of Raw put on a great show that night and he predicted that they’ll “blow the roof off the place” on Thursday. He likened WWE to the NFL and said that NXT was like the NCAA.

* Triple H noted that the team of Ascension has held the NXT tag titles for a year and mused that they might be the most dominant tag team in a decade.

* Discussing Charlotte, Triple H said he thinks she has every athletic gift that her father Ric Flair had, “and then some.” He was quick to add that Bailey is sure to give Charlotte a decent contest at Takeover.

* Triple H expressed enthusiasm for Kenta’s forthcoming debut, stating that the Japanese star’s move to WWE had global implications. He said it will be interesting to see how Kenta adapts to life in WWE, citing the classic Evolution aphorism, “adapt or perish.”
