Following Sunday’s NXT TakeOver 31 event, Paul “HHH” Levesque spoke to the media for 30 minutes about the shwo and some of the various news coming out of it.

Click on the red button below to hear the full audio, but here were some of the highlights:

  • He said Finn Balor’s jaw is being examined while Kyle O’Reilly is also being medically evaluated.
  • The timing for Ember Moon to return just made sense and that it was hard for her to not smile as she was so happy to be back.
  • He said the new CWC setup inside the Performance Center changed the interior layout and will require some shifting for those training, but certain aspects for trainees will still remain. Trainees are in small groups and rotate through while meeting COVID protocols.
  • He said Ridge Holland is a great performer and highly regarded by the coaches. He discusses the near-miss in the Johnny Gargano match and the fine line between sports entertainment and things comes being very real. He said the Gargano accident was bad timing and not a Holland screw-up.
