On a recent episode of the podcast “Wrestlezona,” WWE veteran Tito Santana shared his thoughts on the evolution of WWE, despite not being an avid follower of contemporary wrestling. Santana spoke highly of WWE’s impressive expansion across different territories and its significant presence on platforms like Netflix. He stated, “I don’t watch the modern wrestlers, but I was part of a Saturday Night Main Event and the product is as big as it’s ever been and bigger now. They’ve expanded to I don’t know how many more different countries. They’re on Netflix. I mean, it’s just unbelievable. I don’t know what other sport or entertainment is doing more business than professional wrestling at the moment.” Santana was present at WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event last December.
In another podcast conversation on “No-Contest Wrestling”, Lexis King, NXT Heritage Cup Champion, discussed having distinct feelings about being the champion and handling the hefty Cup. Winning the trophy last December, King has been protecting and bearing it since then. Regarding the overwhelming weight and significance of the Cup, King revealed, “It’s honestly the biggest rib ever. The TV cup is about 85 pounds. It’s unreal how heavy it is…Now, luckily for me, when we do go on the road, it’s on the creative team to check it and bring it to the venue and all that because I think the Cup, it’s worth ,000, so it’s a real thing. It’s made out of some real s**t. So I don’t think they trust me with it.”
King added more about his experience by saying, “But the other Cup, the working Cup, is at my apartment, so I get to keep that one…I think it’s original, I think it’s unique. No one else has it. Just to be able to say that I have a title in the WWE is such an amazing feeling to have…It’s really cool to have something that’s different. I always liked the presentation of it.”
