During a recent interview with WWE.com, one of NXT‘s most intriguing factions The Forgotten Sons opened up about their formation and what they hope to achieve in developmental.
WWE.COM: How did the group known as The Forgotten Sons come to be?
JAXSON RYKER: Three men. Same frustrations. A so-called American “promise.” A promise that by doing the right thing, working hard and showing up on time, you will achieve everything you ever dreamed of. It’s a complete lie. The promise was tossed aside, cast out and forgotten. The three of us realized we all have the same ideals and goals here in NXT. We know we are unstoppable as a unit and we will not let anyone forget us again.
WWE.COM: Cutler, what personally motivated you to get behind the cause?
STEVE CUTLER: I pride myself on being self-motivated. I’m not here in NXT for mediocrity. Most people want to look back on a career and see a beautiful path that they left behind. I want to leave a path of destruction behind me. I want to look back and smile knowing I did it my way. With the three of us, we’ll leave a lasting legacy of destruction that will be remembered.
WWE.COM: What about you, Blake?
WESLEY BLAKE: What has motivated me is frustration. It’s frustrating that you’re giving me a Q&A because I was passed over and overlooked. Now you want to ask me about motivation, like I’m supposed to give an inspirational quote to help others?! I don’t want to help others! I want to help us, The Forgotten Sons.
WWE.COM: That’s understandable. Ryker, why do you believe The Forgotten Sons pose a threat to NXT?
RYKER: The Forgotten Sons have nothing to lose. And we have no mercy. We are a unit, a brotherhood with unsettling motivations. You’ll see.
WWE.COM: Why do you gentlemen feel you’ve all experienced the feeling of not getting the opportunities you deserve?
CUTLER: Opportunities we deserve? Ever since NXT General Manager William Regal gave us our first opportunity, we have done nothing except what we said we would do. That’s “do unto others” and never be forgotten again.
