JD McDonagh is on his way to the main roster after two stints in NXT and NXT UK.
McDonagh previously competed in NXT UK as Jordan Devlin before making his way to the main NXT brand. McDonagh has been treated as a top star in NXT since he made the jump and although he held the Cruiserweight Championship while on the brand, he did not find himself as NXT Champion. Now, McDonagh is on this way to Monday Night RAW.
In a WWE Digital Exclusive, McDonagh commented on his final night on NXT and looked ahead to his move to WWE Raw.
“That’s a wrap. It’s funny, like a dam breaking a suppose. You’re pushing and you’re pushing and you pushing, and you feel something building for your whole life. I’ve been in this 21 years now, and 15 or 16, I felt like I was spinning my wheels, I might never make it. But all of a sudden, things happen, it all just clicks. Coming here to NXT, getting to be in the ring every single week with the best young wrestlers, bar none, it helped unlock something in me. It helped me finally get to the next level. I can’t wait. I can not wait for the next chapter. It feels I’ve been walking forever, and I’ve reached the mountain top. I’ve got to keep on pushing the goalposts back. I’m gonna ride this thing til the wheels fall off. I absolutely love this. I love NXT. I loved my time here, love testing myself, and now the next step, Monday Night Raw, Monday Night McDonagh,”
JD McDonagh
McDonagh defeated Dragon Lee on last night’s NXT and will be joining RAW from next Monday.
