Paul “Triple H” Levesque talked to the media following NXT TakeOver: WarGames Sunday and while there wasn’t any big news from the call, he did give some details on some injuries and someone that wasn’t signed recently.

He said Candice LeRae is being checked out for a possible broken arm, but until there’s an x-ray, they aren’t sure. Bobby Fish suffered a laceration on his elbow that needs some attention, but outside that, everyone else had bumps and bruises so he considered that a good night.

He said he hopes Undertaker will be more involved with the Performance Center in the future as he moves into the next phase of his career, something he has shown interest in. He hopes to speak more with him after the holidays.

When asked about not signing Trey Miguel while the other two members of The Rascalz were signed, he said he couldn’t go into details, following that up with a talk about passion that wasn’t directed at anyone in particular.

He said we will see more special events on TV like New Year’s Evil, possibly extending to the NXT UK brand. However, he likes the separation of WWE having their own special shows (Royal Rumble) while NXT has theirs (WarGames).

Karrion Kross return vignette airs during NXT TakeOver: WarGames

A short vignette that aired tonight on NXT signaled a return for Karrion Kross.

Following the strap match between Cameron Grimes and Dexter Lumis, a vignette aired showing a vulture. The video ended with Kross saying ‘tick tock’, his trademark phrase.

Kross acknowledged the vignette on Twitter, writing “Think about the future.”

Kross has been out of action since winning the NXT Championship at TakeOver XXX on August 22, suffering a separated shoulder during the match. He vacated the title on the next episode of NXT due to the injury.

When asked about a Kross return this week in a Q&A with Fox Sports’ Ryan Satin, Triple H said it was just a matter of timing.

“He’s one of those guys that, again, you want to run through a brick wall for,” he told Satin. “But, he’ll run through the brick wall for himself. That’s the other thing. He’s not here to sit back and go, ‘Man, I hope this heals well.’ He’s going to. If it doesn’t heal well, it’s not on him. It’s not on lack of effort. He did everything conceivable to get there and he’s ready to rock and roll. It’s just a timing thing now.”
