Triple H revealed in a post-WWE NXT on USA Network premiere conference call what he told the talent after the premiere of WWE NXT on the USA Network as well as the praise he gave those not just on-screen, but also behind the scenes.

“I just stood in front of the talent and said, it’s hard to follow-up what they just accomplished without saying anything that doesn’t sound right, other than to say how proud I am of all of this, it has taken a long time to get here and that this was the starting line, not the finish line. We went out there tonight on the number one network on cable television, the USA Network, amazing partners for us for years, and put on what I feel was an epic hour of programming on the USA Network.

We were the number one trend in the USA the entire time, the number one trend in the world the entire time for one trend and the number 4 trend in the world with another. It’s tough to say more than that, other than I thought it was a hell of a night and I thought it was an epic performance on everybody’s part. I’m proud of this team, from behind-the-scenes to in front of it.

I want to thank our partners here at Full Sail University, because without them, it doesn’t happen, they are the best partners that we have, everything that they have here is top shelf and they couldn’t be a better partner for us. It was a great night and the beautiful part is that we get to do it again next Wednesday and the Wednesday after and so on, I’m excited.”
