Steve Maclin talks potentially crossing over to NXT.
Before coming to TNA in 2021, Maclin spent six years with WWE under the Steve Cutler name. Maclin spent the majority of his run with the company in NXT, joining The Forgotten Sons in 2018.
With the healthy working relationship between TNA and NXT, Fightful recently asked Maclin about a possible return to the NXT in a new interview.
“If that happens, it happens. Maybe that Cutler guy that's there, maybe we can wrestle there one day.”
Maclin went on to state that his focus is making sure that TNA is the best brand possible.
"I don't know. Maybe. He's stuck there in the PC somewhere. He’s been there for years. But no, if that relationship happens, that would be great. My focus is always on TNA. Like for Slammiversary and then whenever this does come out to have the gate we had and to just keep that momentum going within TNA and I try to keep my focus on TNA and if that relationship with NXT happens for myself to go over there and cross over there, that'd be awesome. But my focus is on TNA and TNA and making this brand as best as possible."
When asked about possible opponents, Maclin noted that he’d want to face someone that has wrestled in TNA before like AJ Styles or Drew McIntyre.
“Well, obviously it'd be somebody that was TNA, whether it's AJ Styles, Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley. I don't deal with NXT, I had my time with NXT, nothing against talent there but I would go up towards main Raw and Smackdown just because that's where I feel my level is and that's the level I think I can compete at as well. I've been there, things obviously didn't work out the first time, but it's obviously working out here in TNA so if they wanted to cross that line that I would gladly appreciate that.”
