NXT recently transitioned to NXT 2.0, a product that focuses less on in-ring work and more on being sports entertainment. In a new interview with the Dropkick Podcast, Wilson spoke about the recent changes to the product.

“I guess where people don’t like the change is that now NXT feels like it’s gone back to being developmental. It’s still its own brand but it has more of a developmental feel [as compared] to a couple of years ago where it was a super-indie with WWE production. It was awesome.”
