Tama Tonga Comments On His Status, Hugo Knox On His WWE NXT Character, Xavier Woods Games

– We noted before that other Bullet Club members rumored to possibly sign with WWE included Tama Tonga and Bad Luck Fale. Fale has since announced he signed a two-year deal with New Japan Pro Wrestling and it was reported this week that Tonga also re-signed with NJPW. Tonga took to Twitter and shot that report down, saying he’s still a free agent:

– The BBC website recently spoke with former soccer star Stuart Tomlinson, now known to WWE NXT fans as Hugo Knox. It was noted that he chose that name out of 5 different names offered to him. Hugo commented his dancing, polka-dot wearing character:

“Hugo Knox is a lively, high-energy and bubbly guy. On my way to the ring I’ll be dancing my socks off, but when the bell goes then it’s time to get down to it. Hugo Knox and I are the same person; he is a little bit more amplified. I’m myself, I’m not trying to be anybody else – it’s just a little bit more turned up. The gear you wear in the ring is totally up to you. I went with the polka dots. Someone suggested toning it down, but there’s no point training every day if you’re going to cover it up. I want the smallest polka dot pants possible!”
