Earlier this week, NXT Tag Team Champions MSK spoke to Digital Spy, and discussed a number of topics. During the interview with the site, Nash Carter and Wes Lee recalled their decision to sign with WWE, leaving behind The Rascalz name they used in Impact Wrestling, and much more. Check out the highlights:
On leaving The Rascalz moniker behind in Impact Wrestling:
Nash Carter:
“It just seemed right that we needed to evolve into the next aspect of our careers. If you watch some of the best documentaries on some of the best wrestlers they know when it’s time to evolve and let go and create anew in order to stay fresh. We just knew that we were in a cocoon and we needed to spread our wings and be beautiful butterflies.”
Wes Lee:
“And just like when a caterpillar turns into a butterfly, it never really loses who it was it just alters how it presents itself. And that’s essentially all we did. We’re still the exact same guys. It doesn’t matter what name we do it under. But right now, MSK is who we are and that’s who we’re going to be for a long time.”
On leaving Impact to join NXT:
Nash Carter:
“When this opportunity came, it was a no-brainer. I’ve always wanted to be a WWE Superstar.”
Wes Lee:
“It’s bred some amazing, amazing things since we made that choice. The pandemic definitely gave us time to re-evaluate a lot of things and we did a lot of talking, a whole lot of talking on what it is that we wanted to do and how we wanted to do it and this just worked out perfectly.”
