Daniel Garcia announced on the October 8th episode of AEW Dynamite that he was staying with the company.
Garcia was in a contract year with AEW, and had been off television after losing to, and then taking out, MJF at AEW All Out. While he was off television, fans speculated on his future, and some who wanted him to go to NXT would note the amount of attractive women at the WWE Performance Center.
Speaking to Cameron Hawkins on the South Kongress Podcast, Garcia was asked how he felt about the memes and jokes.
"I get why people think it was funny and it kept blowing up and people kept sending me things. To me, it completely undermines how great NXT is. I feel like NXT right now is hot, it's on fire, they have such great talent, men and women, international talent from all over the world. People of all different experience levels. When people kept saying I'm just going to sign there because there are a bunch of attractive women, I think it undermines the work rate, the talent of the entire roster. They have a great roster on their hands. They're doing a bunch of great things over there. It undermines and takes away from what they're doing over there," he said.
