– Christopher Daniels http://wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2016/0502/611352/christopher-daniels-talks-aj-styles-and-samoa-joe-joining-wwe/ target=new>spoke with Wrestling Inc for a new interview. A couple of highlights are below:

On the Global Cruiserweight Series: “I guess I’ll have to wait and see. I feel like the last couple of months for NXT have shown they’re willing to think outside the box and get rid of the constraints they put on their programming back in the day in terms of their attitude towards cruiserweights. You look at some of the hirings over the past couple of months, picking up Austin Aries, giving guys Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, Rich Swann an opportunity to excel. I look forward to the matches, knowing that a guy I hold in high regard like Zack Sabre Jr. is going to be a part of it. I’ll see what they do with it. I feel like they’re giving it an honest chance to get over. I think NXT is the right platform to do that.”

On AJ Styles and Samoa Joe: “I try to keep in touch with them as much as possible. I’m thrilled to see them doing well and knew they would if they were given the opportunity. I kept in contact with Joe as he was going through the process of signing with them and finding out the opportunities he was being given, it’s exciting. It shows you there’s a change of perception in the office there. If there’s anyone that deserves it that opportunity, it was Joe. He did so much at TNA and ROH, he deserved to be seen on a grand scale. Now he’s showing his worth in NXT, and he’s the first guy to hold the TNA, NXT and ROH title. History is his.”
