WWE Hall of Famer did not like the New Day going to NXT
WWE Hall of Famer Booker T was not a fan of the New Day going down to NXT to face Pretty Deadly. The five-time world champion stated on his Hall of Fame podcast that he doesn't like to see bullies.
"I don't like it. I don't like it at all. I mean these guys are camera hawks, you know, they can't get no love, you know, on the main roster so they gotta come over to NXT and try to, you know, steal some camera time. It's just one of those things man, I don't like seeing bullies, you know, pick on people and that's what The New Day has become as of late. They've become bullies coming over to NXT. So, that's what I would label them as, as bullies," he said. [From 1:21:21 - 1:21:51]
The New Day are one of the greatest WWE tag teams of all time. Their addition to the brand will be a major boost for NXT, and it will be interesting to see how long their reign in the developmental brand will be.
