Uhaa Nation Reveals Who He Wants To Face In NXT, & More

Uhaa Nation recently spoke with WWE.com about growing up a wrestling fan and more

On Growing Up a Wrestling Fan: “I grew up watching mostly The Attitude Era, especially when Kurt Angle came along. He had me glued to the TV every time he was on the screen. You’ve got Chris Jericho and Eddie Guerrero, who had similar backgrounds to mine, working overseas and making a name for themselves before ultimately getting to where they got. Of course, there’s Triple H, The Rock, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. “Stone Cold” was the guy everybody could relate to. He was the guy coming to work and beating up on his boss, which everybody who works a regular job can relate to. What people loved about him so much is the fact that he was doing what they just dreamed of doing. The Rock was just always entertaining. Guys like those are the ones who really got me motivated to do what I do. After I started doing it for long, I moved away from trying to wrestle like certain guys and I developed my own style. It took some time, but I think I figured it out after a while. I have a lot of learning to do, and I’m excited to be here as an NXT Superstar in recruitment and learn from these coaches, who are the best coaches you can get.”

On What He Needs to Work On: “Definitely working on my mic work, talking. I’m not the best. I didn’t get to do a lot of it on the indies. But as far as learning, I’m game for anything, and I’m just going to soak up any amount of knowledge I can get. You can never learn too much, no matter how far you get. The fact we get an opportunity to be here with guys who have been around the world and just have that wealth of knowledge, those guys who have been to the stage that we’re trying to get to, the fact they take the time out to teach us and help us is amazing. I’m definitely going to take advantage of it. I’m going to soak everything up that they tell me, like a sponge, incorporate it into my style and try to find that happy medium, where it’s some of the stuff I do, along with what they show me. From there, hopefully everything takes off and goes smoothly.”

On Who He’d Like to Face in WWE: “Oh, there are so many. You’ve got Neville, Finn Bálor, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens. Luke Harper, we had a lot of fun in DGUSA. Dolph Ziggler. The list is endless. Kalisto… There are just so many talented guys here. You’ve got Hideo Itami. There’s so many that it almost seems like there’s not enough time. You want to go out there and wrestle them all at one time. Another one is Solomon Crowe. I got to wrestle him before during WrestleMania Week in New Jersey for EVOLVE, and he’s just a guy I want to learn so much from. The list is endless.”
