BDE Has Championship Goals In TNA, Open To Appearance On WWE NXT

BDE has a number of goals now that he’s a full-time performer in TNA, and title runs are near the top of his list. The YouTube star signed a full-time deal with TNA at the start of the year, and has since been competing regularly on the show. He also competes for Wrestling REVOLVER and won the REVOLVER Remix Championship last week.

BDE spoke with Insight With Chris Van Vliet and during the conversation, he was asked about his goals in the company. He listed the X-Division Championship, World Championship, and winning the Call Your Shot Gauntlet match on his to-do list. He also said he would be open to an appearance on WWE NXT through the TNA and WWE partnership. You can see highlights below:

On His Goals In TNA:

“I want to win a championship. That is definitely why I’m here. I want to win the X Division Championship, eventually the World Title. That’s way down the line. I still got to earn my stripes. But, you know, debuted in the Call Your Shot gauntlet. I would absolutely love to win that 100%. That’s like goal number one, really.”

On How His TNA Run Will Affect His Content Creating:

“So the content is still going to stay the same. I would say, since full-time with TNA, the content is not necessarily on the back burner, but it’s not my primary focus anymore. My primary focus is getting the gym, studying practice and promos, all that. This is the main goal now, because I feel like, with content after I hit a million subscribers, that was my real last goal for YouTube, it’s something that I’ll still do. I tell my viewers all the time, I’ll be making content till I’m old and gray. My mom gave me my first camera when I was, like, nine years old. I used to make family movies, skits with my friends. That’s just something I enjoy doing, like it was a hobby before it was a job, so I’m always gonna be making content.”

On Possibly Appearing In WWE NXT:

“Yeah, that’d be sweet. Obviously, my main focus is TNA. But if the opportunity ever rolls around, I’m definitely down. I’m a team player, whatever TNA wrestling needs me to do. I’m there.”

On the Advice Jeff Hardy Gave Him:

“Really, it was just to be yourself and be authentic. I was asking, what do you think is the best way to connect with the audience? He told me, just be authentic. Be yourself. You’re already doing that because you have your content and stuff like that. But that was really the gist of it. Was a quick conversation. He was putting his makeup on, so I didn’t bother him. But yeah, he was, he was very kind about that. So, yeah, the authenticity for sure.”
