Martin Stone isnt holding anything back hes laying out exactly what he claims really went down behind the scenes in WWEs NXT, and its all about politics and favoritism. Speaking on the Cafe de Rene with Rene Dupree podcast, the former WWE Superstar described a system where getting over with fans didnt mean you were getting pushed and in some cases, it actually worked against you. When asked how political NXT really is, Stone pointed straight to his own experience, explaining how momentum with the crowd didnt translate into opportunity. He then broke down how internal groups and classes played a role in who got prioritized, suggesting that not everyone was operating on a level playing field. From there, Stone got more direct about how he sees the system working, claiming favoritism and alignment with management were key factors in who moved up. He also pointed to the financial side of things, questioning why some talent were earning more despite doing less. Stone didnt try to dress it up he made it clear what he believes is at the center of everything. He then explained how quickly his NXT run started, describing how he went from signing to being on TV within days only for that momentum to stall. Despite connecting with fans early, Stone said that didnt lead anywhere long-term. He described a cycle where he and his partner were consistently used to elevate others, especially those already positioned higher on the card. And even with that kind of booking, Stone said the crowd never turned on them which made the situation even more frustrating from his perspective. Bottom line Stone isnt just venting, hes painting a picture of a system where who you know matters just as much as what you do. And if his experience is anything to go by, getting over might not always be enough if youre not the one being chosen.
