Shawn Michaels believes that he and Triple H will be on the same page when it comes to the future of NXT 2.0.
The Heart Break Kid recently spoke to Graham Matthews of Bleacher Report to discuss a wide variety of subjects. When asked about Triple H taking over creative for the WWE main roster, Michaels hopes that it will create more synergy between the three brands going forward.
“He and I have always thought about things the same,” Shawn Michaels said. “That’s what we’re hoping for. We want things to continue to progress and get better and evolve, but I think there will be a more natural transition. And look: We also understand it’s our job down here to adjust to everything else. It’s Raw and SmackDown that really forge the way for this company. We understand that.
“I like the fire drill aspect of this job. I know at times it’s challenging, and I know people will get upset when we have abrupt changes and changes in direction and it can be nerve-wracking, but it’s also incredibly exciting and challenging. I guess that’s something I still enjoy. At 10:05 on Tuesday night, we’re going to have ourselves a live show, and if it didn’t go perfect, not to worry, we’ve got one the next week and that’s a good problem to have.”
Shawn Michaels was especially happy to see Dakota Kai return to WWE at SummerSlam alongside former NXT Women’s Champion IYO SKY.
“Dakota Kai knows she’s absolutely one of my favorites and clearly IYO [SKY] is one of the most talented ladies in the world,” Shawn Michaels said. “I can just say this: We have very comparable lists. Hunter and I kind of share the same brain. We have a little list we think about every now and then, so I’m very excited for what he’s done and for what he’s going to do in the future, and we’re looking forward to helping him every step of the way.”
