Apollo Crews has been making a big name for himself ever since he debuted in NXT at Takeover: Brooklyn. There have been some rumors about him moving onto the main roster, but Crews recently appeared on the Sam Roberts Podcast and seemed to have set plenty of goals for himself in NXT for 2016.

You can listen to the full interview right here. Below is what Crews had to say about joining WWE, NXT and his goals for 2016:

Was his goal always to make it to WWE? 

“It was always a goal [to make it to WWE]. Like, the reason I did start working on the indies and doing those things before I got here was to get here, so it was cool. At the time I was asked to come here, I didn’t even know if WWE knew about me.”

Does Crews want to become NXT Champion or move onto the main roster: 

“I don’t want to miss out on the moments. Like, I want to remember everything. Triple H said before, ‘no matter where we go from here, we’re going to look back on this moment and it’s probably going to be the greatest time in our life’. I don’t want to look back and be like, ‘NXT, I loved it, but it just went by so fast’. I want to enjoy every [moment].

I have goals that I set and I want to accomplish everything I can here possible. For me, it’s amazing because my tryout was a year ago. Like, day one, I said I was going to come in here and my goal is to be [NXT] Champion, so for me to be in this spot is an honor.”
