isn’t that the point? both material was great but when you use references that most people can understand then that’s a talent within itself. it’s not like shine was living under a rock this entire time, he was experiencing everything that dna was just like we are.

Why NWX break up

[@goolly1]

@@8macvar As per DNA on a recent episode of champion, NWX seemed to had reached it's ceiling in terms of what they could accomplish together. There were also different priorities growing withing the group regarding aspects of expanding as a collective. Nothing negative though. So, rather than bump heads, they decided to part ways as NWX amicably and respectfully. Everyone is still family though. He even mentioned in another interview that there will still be more DNA & shine team battles in the future.
