Alba Fyre And Isla Dawn Say The NXT System Works If You Let It
Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn put over the NXT system.
Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre have been treated as serious threats to Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler despite their short time on the main roster. The two are set to unify the NXT Women’s Tag Titles with the main roster’s version of the titles.
Speaking to Mark Andrews on My Love Letter to Wrestling, Fyre & Dawn were asked about the differences between NXT and the main roster.
Isla Dawn: I think there are a few differences, but NXT does do its job. It clearly works. It clearly works because we’re sitting here today, still NXT champions on SmackDown. The system does work if you’re willing to let it work.
Alba Fyre: We came at it like a new school.
Isla Dawn: Everything now, we’re like, ‘this is why we’re so drilled.’ In training, we’re doing these different drills. First day of SmackDown, I was terrified, and then I got in, I walked into the women’s locker room. It’s lots of people from NXT, lots of people I’ve never met before, but they brought me in. Tamina, I have met once, and she immediately took me in like I was her child. She is the loveliest woman alive.
Alba Fyre: Everyone is so welcome and so genuinely happy and supportive. We thought it was going to be a lot more scary, but it’s been a good comfort for us.
