JONAH on How Triple H Pushed for Him to Move Up to the Main WWE Roster

– During an interview with Steve Fall for NBC Sports Boston’s The Ten Count, former WWE Superstar JONAH discussed how Triple H pushed for him to move up to the main WWE roster before he was released by WWE in August 2021. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

JONAH on his NXT North American title run ending earlier than expected: “I was told that, ‘Hey, you’re being put forward to move up to Raw or SmackDown. I started doing some dark matches and it seemed like that was the way they were going. So, as a fail-safe for them, they took the North American Championship off of me, thinking that’s where I was heading, but didn’t work out that way.”

JONAH on how Triple H pushed him for him to go to the main roster: “I was put forward by Triple H himself saying, ‘This is a guy that’s ready for Raw or SmackDown. That’s what I was told was going to happen, and as we’ve seen since then, a lot of people do dark matches or have ‘Main Event’ tapings to do and stuff like that and then eventually move to the main roster.”
