Jinny: "NXT UK is back and it's bigger than ever" [Exclusive]

Sportskeeda meets NXT UK Superstar Jinny

Ahead of the return of NXT UK, we caught up with WWE's Fashionista - Jinny. That interview continues below...

Jinny is ready to take her place at the top of the mountain.

You mentioned it there, the new venue - BT Sport Studios. I managed to catch a couple of matches there back in January for the launch of WWE on BT Sport, and I was just like, "Man, there should be more wrestling in this venue!"

Obviously, it's not great the way we've got there, but what do you think of the prospect of wrestling in that wonderful venue but with no fans? Do you think that's something that will see maybe fans gradually seep into that venue, or do you think we'll maybe go elsewhere in the future?

We always have to play it by ear regarding the current circumstances - when fans are going to be allowed to be back in, how long it's going to take. At the moment, it's just fantastic being back.

The video that Triple H put out of the studios doesn't do it any justice. It really doesn't. It's just so professional, and that's what I mean by NXT UK being taken to a whole new level. It almost lights a fire under you because the production is exactly the same now as RAW, SmackDown, and NXT. We're not just NXT UK - an additional brand. We're NXT UK - another brand of WWE.

Yeah, definitely, and one of my favorite little things that I've seen... I think that came from Alex McCarthy of talkSPORT when he was doing a little wander around the venue was that he mentioned that Shawn Michaels' voice booms across to give a little bit of production aspect to guide things along. What is that like - getting to just hear Shawn Michaels' voice come across? Is that just the most surreal thing ever?

For the first day, it was a bit like, "Okay, I forgot that you're actually able to watch us." Almost a bit like on CCTV. It was absolutely insane hearing Shawn Michaels and Triple H's voices. It was just great.

You get used to it, obviously, as time goes on. But just the fact that we're able to be within BT Studios and having them still watch and having them put in as much effort as they are, it's like that they are actually here with us, so it's definitely something God-like. But, at the same time, it's work, and they have as much passion for NXT UK as every one of us.
