Speaking with The Ringer, HBK said he looks at the relationship as one that could provide possibilities for years to come.

"Those things are always possible. I look at this and hope it is a long-standing relationship," he said. "In my personal opinion, I feel that sometimes if you go to those type of things too soon, well now you’ve gone through it and where do you go from there? Right now, we’re enjoying this partnership, and we’re enjoying different matchups than we thought we’d be able to see here in just a short amount of time. Excited about the future, excited about that relationship. Nothing is ever off the table in WWE, certainly in NXT. We want to go slower as opposed to faster."
