Dave Mastiff talks about his NXT UK experience and whether or not he has any interest in being a part of NXT Europe in the future.
Dave Mastiff was one of the key players of NXT UK up until the brand went on hiatus in September 2022 to make room for the expansion of NXT UK into NXT Europe. While he never held gold in NXT UK, Dave Mastiff with able to participate in TakeOver events. In a new interview with PWMania, he is speaking about his experience with the brand and learning under Triple H.
“People may not realize but those two gents had a significant impact on my career even before signing with WWE. Learning from Triple H was also wonderful because he just has so much attention to detail. He’s a fantastic leader too I believe,” he said.
“As for the joy, for me, the joy came in being at the PC with a group of lads who I’ve spent so much time with on the independents. We shared a journey for many years and it was great to enjoy working for the market leader (financially) together. It differed of course because it’s a television-centric product but I’d had a lot of previous experience with that.”

As for whether or not he plans on being a part of the expanded WWE NXT Europe brand, Dave Mastiff said they would have to be the right offer for him before he made any decision.
“We had a meeting and we’re told it was closing,” Dave says of NXT UK. “We were told the Europe thing was in the pipeline. They then made a press release seconds after. Then we all got the calls releasing us.”
“Anything that’s said is guesswork by anyone. They need to do a lot of work before it comes to fruition and it would need to be the right offer for me,” said Dave in response to whether or not he would work for NXT Europe.
