- Michael Cole talks with WWE NXT Champion Adrian Neville in this week's sitdown interview to promote next week's NXT Takeover: R Evolution event. Below are some highlights:

* Cole brought up how Neville has held the title for almost a year. Neville says it means the world to him. He worked all over the world to get to WWE for years and when he won the NXT Title, everything changed. He talked about going from the Performance Center to traveling all over the world with the main roster.

* Regarding the title match with Sami Zayn next week, Cole asks if Neville is concerned about possibly ending the career of a friend. Neville says it's a tough scenario but this is WWE, a tough environment, and his personal feelings towards Sami can't get in the way. Neville said he's a professional. While it's Sami's big redemption, it's also Neville's dream.

* Cole asks if Neville is bothered by how this has become Sami's story. Cole says the champion has become like a second headline. Neville said it doesn't bother him. He said Sami is the underdog and people will gravitate to that.
