Former TNA superstar Eric Young made a surprise appearance at a recent WWE NXT TV taping. While in New York promoting an upcoming House of Hardcore appearance he talked with Niagara This Week about his situation with NXT.

How his appearance in NXT came about?

“It was in the works. I was supposed to go and talk with Hunter (Triple H). They reached out to me and there was an opportunity. Hunter and I hit it off right away, joking like we had known each other for 10 years. About half way through the day he called me aside to see if I’d be interested in doing a promo with the NXT champion Samoa Joe to start the show. I went and grabbed my stuff out of my rental and we got to business. The crowd reaction was insane. I figured it would be decent, but it was insane.”

Does he have a contact with WWE?

“We are working on contract stuff now, but there isn’t a final pen to paper yet,”

Young talks about leaving TNA, facing Bobby Roode and more in the article and you can check it out at the link above.
