Bro, you can back me up because we have Road Dogg on the show, and he said something one week. Here's the problem. All these wrestlers that come up with NXT, two things happen, bro. Shawn Michaels, whoever is down there, and Triple H fall in love with these people. They fall in love with the Graganos, they fall in love with Candice LeRae, they fall in love with Bayley, and they fall in love with these people. Then bro, there is this ego part of it where I trained this person for five years, and now we are going to put this person on the main stage.&quot; [37:00 - 38:10]Triple H has brought back numerous stars who were released by the previous regime. Some of those include Johnny Gargano, Candice LeRae, Mia Yim, Tegan Nox, Dexter Lumis, Bray Wyatt, and Karrion Kross. It remains to be seen how successful their returns end up being.
