Being able to get in the ring with those sorts of people always elevates you and I feel like even though I was clearly the bigger man in that match, I was still the underdog. Did you get a kick out of surprising NXT viewers? Many people might have seen your recent victory over Johnny Gargano and Roderick Strong as a bit of an upset, considering their history with the company. I think Keith Lee is such an amazing performer and is something I'd like to do as soon as possible. We've wrestled each other on the independents before, but it's something that we both want to do here in NXT. NXT Champion Keith Lee is another big man that is very agile. He is someone that I'm still a big fan of and when it comes to big guys, you can't look past someone like Samoa Joe. And then, the person that I think I've most closely emulated almost my entire career is Samoa Joe. I was a big fan of Vader as well, agile to a point but he was just so destructive so being able to watch him was something completely different. Guys like myself Shane Thorne and Brendon Vink were actually in a faction outside of WWE so it could happen.ДЄs a big guy that moves so well in the ring, who are some of your favourite 'big men'?ДЇor me I'm a big fan of the late Bam Bam Bigelow, I always thought he was a fantastic big man, he was so agile and moved around so well. We speak to each other about our experiences. We are all very like minded people and because we are from Australia, I feel like it is a close-knit group. Yeah, well, I mean it definitely could happen.

Could you ever see that developing into a faction? You mentioned some of the Australians that are now in WWE. I got to Japan, I got to wrestle in the UK, and on the independent scene here in the US and it became something that eventually happened so it is a dream come true. So, I just made sure to keep on wrestling all around the world. I never thought that IвЂ™d be able to get to NXT or WWE, and then even once I started my wrestling career on the independent scene, at that time didnвЂ™t seem like something that you could do either.ДЄnd then, people like Murphy and the IIconics started getting signed with WWE and it seemed more like something that was attainable. WWE was always something that I wanted to do, but it did feel unattainable as a kid from a small town in Australia. In an exclusive interview with Mirror Sport's Scott Felstead, WWE's latest breakout star opened up on his epic journey to NXT, his thoughts on the possibility of an Australian based faction, who has helped him develop the most since signing with WWE, and his thoughts on climbing the ladder of success.Д¬oming all the way to NXT from Adelaide, Australia, was wrestling for WWE always the dream?ДЇor me, I've been such a fan of wrestling my whole life. On June 22 this year, he secured a shock victory when the 320-pounder bested Johnny Gargano and Roderick Strong in a triple threat qualifying match for a place in the North American Championship ladder match at NXT TakeOver: XXX tonight. The Australian, real name Jermaine Haley, became a multiple time champion in various territories, shooting to fame as a big man that could move like a cruiserweight.ДЄfter 12 years of banging heads in Oz, the United Kingdom, Germany and even Japan, the 31-year-old signed on the dotted line with WWE. WWE NXT star Bronson Reed first made his name around the world as an independent wrestling star.
