Hammerstone had a great time at NXT.
On the September 10th episode of NXT, Hammerstone became the latest TNA star to cross over, as he faced NXT North American Champion Oba Femi. Femi won the match, but Hammerstone appeared again the following week. There, he defeated Tony D'Angelo via count-out.
Speaking on Hitting The Turnbuckle, Hammerstone was asked about his match against Oba Femi.
“It was great. The whole experience was phenomenal because I got to come in there as TNA’s Hammerstone and be me, look like me, dress like me, come out to my music, be branded as TNA’s guy. It’s just so cool, it’s such an interesting time in wrestling. To go out there and to have a good showing, obviously with that match, I didn’t pick up the win, but at the same time, I believe I represented TNA well, at least well enough to come back the following week and pick up a victory, so what a cool feeling, what a cool time in wrestling, and hopefully there’s more to come," Hammerstone said.
Hammerstone went on to speak highly of his experience at the WWE Performance Center, as he noted that everyone treated him with professionalism and respect. He stated that it seemed like they wanted to make sure that he had the best experience possible. Hammerstone also briefly reflected on his WWE tryout.
"It’s just so cool how far things have come because the level of professionalism and respect I was treated with from everybody there, all the staff, all the coaches, all the producers, there was no element of, ‘This guy’s an outsider, so we’re gonna give him the short end of the stick.’ If anything, it was, ‘This guy’s an outsider, so let’s make sure he has the best experience possible.’ To know that the last time I was in the Performance Center, I was doing forward rolls until I just about puked, so it’s a whole different set of circumstances," Hammerstone said.
As of this writing, there is no word on whether Alex Hammerstone will return to NXT.
