– McKenzie Mitchell is in the back with Drew Gulak. She asks why he came back to NXT. Gulak says for some reason he feels like he hasn’t reached his full potential, he’s not pointing fingers at anyone but himself. He has a good idea of where he wants to go, he didn’t come here to complain, he came here to grind in the ring and if he sees someone with potential, someone special, either a NXT Superstar or a WWE Performance Center trainee, then he can help them and that’s even better.
Gulak says there are strength in numbers. Damon Kemp walks up and introduces himself. They shake hands. Gulak knows Kemp – a great wrestler with an even more notorious attitude. Kemp takes that as a compliment. Kemp saw Gulak watching this past Tuesday on NXT, and says he will return to the ring for the first time in two months this Tuesday against Duke Hudson, and that is the match for Gulak to watch as he schools Gulak. Gulak says he has a pretty good idea of who Kemp is, but he will check the match out. He wishes Kemp good luck, then walks off.
