Zoey Serrano Doesn’t Think NXT Prepares You for the Main WWE Roster

During a recent visit to Busted Open Radio, former WWE Superstar Zoey Serrano (aka Zoey Stark) spoke about transitioning from NXT to the main WWE roster. Serrano expressed her opinion that NXT didn’t truly prepare her for the main roster experience.

When asked if NXT prepared her to move up to the main roster (Fightful), Zoey Serrano responded, “I don’t think so. I personally don’t think it does. I would love to say it does, but it’s a whole different ballgame when you’re up there. You don’t have people telling you exactly what you’re going to do in every single moment.”

The wrestler continued, “When I was in NXT, you would sit there in the ring with (Johnny) Russo, Shawn (Michaels), (Matt) Bloom, and they would say, ‘Say it like this, do it like that,’ and give you different ideas of how to portray it.” She added, “Same thing with the match. You’re going through it, A to Z, everything that is going to happen. When you go to the main roster, you don’t have that opportunity. It’s just sink or swim when you figure it out as you go.”

As noted, Zoey Serrano makes her TNA Wrestling in-ring debut later tonight on TNA iMPACT! She will team with Xia Brookside against Indi Hartwell & Harley Hudson.

Tonight’s TNA iMPACT! airs at 9:00 pm ET on AMC and AMC+.
