Triple H talks about the NXT Takeover II event

In this week’s sit-down interview with ringside commentator Michael Cole, COO Triple H talked about the NXT Takeover II Event. Here are Hunter’s comments on NXT.

• Triple H notes NXT Takeover II was the #2 most social program on prime time Thursday, including all cable and network shows.
• He's wanted NXT to become its own brand, and he feels as if it has accomplished that. Triple H compared NXT to ECW as an alternative currently but wants it to become as big as WCW and rival the WWE main roster.
