– Trent Seven spoke with JOE.co.uk for a new interview discussing his experience joining WWE. You can see highlights below:

On his WWE experience: “Signing with WWE has, as you might expect, been a bit of a culture shock. We must have done about 150-ish flights last year. The year before, another 100-odd. We’re doing live tours [and] on the bus with Randy Orton. We don’t really have time to let it sink in, you just have to let it ride. It’s not a negative or anything, but the peaks and troughs are a little bit drastic. You go from WrestleMania, or a TakeOver wrestling in front of 15,000 people, then you come home and you’ve still got to take the dogs for a walk. That’s a very important learning curve, psychologically.”

On fans who call UK talent “sell-outs” for signing with WWE: “It’s codswallop. Absolute codswallop. It’s the most pathetic thing in the world. You don’t want to sound too egotistical, but in all fairness [after] what we’ve done in the last two years for the independent scene, for certain fans to turn around and say that now it is ruined, is probably the stupidest thing I’ve heard anyone say. It is quite clear [British wrestling] is at the absolute peak of where it has ever been.”
