The WWE seems to be becoming the promised land for former TNA talent in particular. After Samoa Joe, Austin Aries and most notably AJ Styles, former eleven-time TNA title holder Eric Young might make for its warm shores.
In an interview with Busted Open Radio, the 36-year-old was asked his inclination towards a career in NXT, to which he responded, “Obviously, it’s a definite possibility. From the second that something was put up, of course, the parallels are being drawn and it’s something that’s definitely an option for me.
“The book is wide open and never in my career have I had that. I’ve always been a TNA guy. It’s exciting to say that I’m going to open another chapter. I’ve got a good foothold in pro wrestling and it’s cool to kind of be able to choose and have that ability because not everyone gets the choice. It’s a very cool thing, very flattering.”
Young, a twelve-year veteran of TNA, recently parted ways with the company over remuneration issues. Joining him was another TNA original, Bobby Roode, whose career graph was identical to that of Young’s.
If Young joined NXT, it would be a huge fillip for the show, which is the WWE’s breeding ground for main roster talent.
