The WWE has posted several NXT Breakdown videos of various Divas and Superstars talking about the hype around NXT. Among them are WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon and NXT Diva Bayley.
The videos highlight NXT’s successful San Jose show on March 27th during WrestleMania weekend.
On attending the NXT live event, Stephanie said, “Seeing the emergence of a new brand, especially when it’s your husband’s sort of baby if you will, is probably one of the greatest things that I could ever be a part of.”
Stephanie was on hand for the sold out show in front of 5,000 people at San Jose State University’s Event Center. The show was not only a success for the audience, but a global phenomenon on social media.
“It’s been trending all night long,” McMahon said. “It’s 5,000 people. It’s one live event in San Jose and our fans are going nuts.”
Bayley had the privilege of performing at the event in front of her hometown crowd.
“I used to do summer camps here when I was ten years old at San Jose State University and I would wear wrestling shirts every single day,” Bayley said. “Now to come back and be a part of NXT and WWE WrestleMania weekend in front of a million friends here, my family in the front row…I used to do shows in the bay area and they would watch all the time and now they’re here! It’s so cool.”
The emotional Diva teamed with Alexa Bliss that night to take on Dana Brooke and Becky Lynch.
“I knew NXT was growing and I was apart of something special the day that I started,” Bayley said.”But the day that I found out WrestleMania was here I was just excited. I was like I hope I get to get to go and be apart of Axxess but the fact that we have our own show…the fact that NXT is strong enough to carry their own with 5,000 people…this our WrestleMania and it got to be in my hometown so this is real extra special for me.”
