In a post on his official Twitter account, WWE NXT superstar KUSHIDA reflected on leaving New Japan Pro Wrestling to move to Florida and join the WWE NXT roster.

“About a month has passed since I moved to Florida. Looking back on this month, I have spent a long time as if it has already been about a year. I was in a state where I didn’t understand the new practice environment, food, housing, English, matches, but I feel that a little more open time has been created recently. On weekdays, practice picked up at the Performance Center. I also started a one-on-one English class. The weekend is full of house shows. I am desperate every day to get through a day. Driving to the venue yourself, setting up the ring, wrestle, and clear the ring. Then drive back to home again.

It is the life in NXT. With the series of fresh discoveries, it feels like you are becoming thicker and bigger as a person. The prospects, wrestlers from other professional sports, Indians, Saudis, Chinese, foreigners who I have never met, and NXT top rivals who I know from a long time ago, I live in this intersection. As my life is starting to get settled, I can finally put my feet on the pedal and 100% power on my engine. Bring all of this into the ring. 4/28/2019 Before the Change of the Era – KUSHIDA”
