Shawn Michaels would like to see The New Day on the card for NXT’s next premium live event, but that’s not something he could guarantee right now.
During his NXT Deadline post-show media call, Shawn Michaels was asked about bringing The New Day into NXT and if putting the titles on them was related to NXT going on the road for Vengeance Day. Michaels said that was part of the discussion, but it wasn’t a guarantee. He said that the title change was only finalized over the weekend but noted that he’ll do everything he can to make sure the duo would be in the conversation to be on that show.
“All of those things have to be considered. We had a call the other day, and I genuinely and sincerely was — we weren’t sure what we were going to do. I’m always pretty honest with you guys. You know, it’s one of those things like I’ll send a couple of texts and I’ll see what we can do. Once again, none of it has been finalized yet, but I have every intention because, as best that I understand it right now, The New Day is still a part of SmackDown, so our titles should definitely be represented. That crossover that we had in the last several months is going to continue. I’ll say this, sometimes I think we lose sight of the fact that — I guess I’m always conservative, and I don’t ever want to bother anybody and I don’t push more than I should. But every now and then, heck, all I have to do is ask a question and Hunter [Triple H] says, ‘Yeah, sure.’ Then, we have to talk to talent and just see if it works for everybody, and this was a situation where it did.
“And like I said, from the calls that I had the other day to just yesterday I believe, we got enough stuff worked around…and the thing is, I’m thinking about Vengeance Day but that isn’t, obviously, finalized, but I absolutely have to think about selling those tickets in Charlotte and finding out what we can do to best help that. At this point right now, I can’t say that I know that New Day is going to be a part of that, but I can promise you I’m going to do everything I can to make sure that they are because that’s something that’s going to be beneficial in making that premium live event in Charlotte something special.”
