Cody Rhodes Calls NXT 'Intimidating,' Xavier Woods Explains His Controversial Actions

Today at 12:07 PM

During a recent interview with “3News,” Cody Rhodes discussed NXT’s increasing prominence and described it as a potentially intimidating environment for newcomers.

Rhodes last appeared on NXT in June and praised the brand’s performance on The CW thus far.

He said, "NXT, particularly with Baldo [Matt Bloom] and Shawn Michaels, as a talent and current main roster, NXT can be kind of intimidating. It's not really a developmental anymore. It's almost a grooming ground for these monsters who are going to come up and stand across the ring from you, and they've been trained by Shawn Michaels. We're definitely preparing the next generation of superstars and wrestlers…Their run on CW, I've been blown away. Really special stuff."

Xavier Woods has recently been seen making some questionable choices on WWE RAW, and he shared his reasoning in a new video.

The New Day member uploaded a rollerblading clip where he discussed some of his recent actions that have created friction with Kofi Kingston and other babyfaces, hinting at a possible heel turn. This included removing Rey Mysterio's mask during a match, refusing to shake Jey Uso's hand after losing and choosing not to assist R-Truth when he was attacked by the Final Testament and The Miz.
