Did Christopher Daniels Consider Signing With NXT?

Christopher Daniels recently signed an exclusive deal with Ring of Honor. The Fallen Angel has been in the business for a long time, and he felt that was the best offer on the table.

However, that doesn’t mean he didn’t consider other options. Daniels recently did an interview with 411Mania.com to promote the ROH 14th Anniversary show coming up.

You can read the full interview right here. Below are some of the highlights, including if he could have signed or considered a run in NXT:

Was he considering a run in NXT before signing with ROH?

“I think the timing was just bad for me to do NXT. At this point, I think they would just look at me too old to join, to start for NXT. And while I think I could go and do well, I think on paper to them, it’s probably just too big of a risk, which is fine. If things had been different — if their attitude towards independent wrestlers was the way it is now, if it was that way five years ago when I left TNA or six years ago, it might’ve been a different conversation. But again, I feel like the time where NXT might’ve been most interested in me as a character and as a performer was a time where I was under contract with TNA. The timing was just never right for me to do NXT or WWE, and that’s just the way it is. If I sit and dwell on that, it’s sort of an exercise in futility. I’d rather focus on the fact that Ring of Honor and I have had a good relationship now for two years and going on strong. Being under contract with them is a very good place for me to be.”

What are the terms of his new deal with Ring of Honor?

“I am exclusive with Ring of Honor. I have a contract with them right now. And I’m happy. I’m thrilled. It’s a great contract for me not only to help in the ring but also to help behind the scenes, to help mold the next generation of stars that will perform for Ring of Honor.”
