King’s assessment of the pro wrestling crossovers.
Coming off of his loss and post-match attack on Eddy Thorpe on WWE NXT, Lexis King joined Bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer on Busted Open.
He was asked to share his thoughts about the WWE-TNA crossover that is continuing to unfold. In his response, King brought up AEW and went on to mention that he believes International Champion MJF could come to WWE and take anyone’s spot if he wanted to.
I think it’s cool and all (King said about WWE-TNA partnership). I don’t care what acronym. TNA, ECW, AEW. I don’t care where you come from. I came from a different acronym at one time and I don’t look at any one roster as a set bubble. I think you look at pro wrestling, you gotta look at the whole landscape, you gotta look at the entire roster. You got guys like MJF over there in AEW, he could come over here at any time and steal anybody’s spot if he wanted to. So I don’t look at different factions as this, that or the other. I think everybody is an opponent, everybody is an enemy of mine and if you’re coming over to my show and taking spots, then you’re on my radar, because I’m the king of NXT and this is my domain and you’re gonna come in here and you’re gonna parade around that TNA flag, well you better be ready to get in the ring and throw some hands because I’m fighting for my spot too and I don’t care what acronym that is. We’re all wrestlers, we’re all in this business together and I think we should all be fighting for the spots equally as hard and we should all be putting on our best performances.
MJF is going to be present on the Blood & Guts edition of Dynamite on 7/24. His next International Title defense will be at CMLL’s August 2nd show against Templario.
