In an interview with Sean Waltman, former WWE NXT superstar Sami Callihan (Solomon Crowe during his time on WWE NXT) discussed a variety of topics, including what went wrong for his character on WWE NXT television.
“I’m never going to bash WWE because that’s not how I am, but I always wanted to be in WWE and one day I do believe I’ll be back there. All I ever wanted or needed was an opportunity, and I never got that opportunity. It’s one thing to be given the ball. It’s another thing to be given the ball and have some guys to block for you. I never had those blockers. You’re only going to go so far when there’s not a lot of direction, not a lot of, ‘OK, this is what’s needed, this is what’s wanted.’ I feel like if they would’ve just let the chains off me and were like, yo go be Sami Callihan, I’d be on Raw right now as one of the top guys.”
