For those of you hoping to see more WWE NXT superstars take bookings outside of the company, you may want to slow down on your thinking. Speaking with the media after NXT Vengeance Day, Shawn Michaels said this will be a ‘one-shot deal’ for now.
Ivy Nile is being advertised to participate in Booker T’s ‘Reality of Wrestling’ promotion next weekend on February 11. There have been occurrences before in which WWE has had working relationships with independent promotions. The most notable is EVOLVE in which WWE would ultimately end up purchasing.
Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp asked Michaels about the upcoming appearance to which Michaels said, “As of right now, that was honestly a one-shot deal. Booker has obviously been very good to us here. It was something that he asked and we obviously wanted to help him out with that. As of right now, there is no talk of any of that, to my knowledge. Right now, that was just us helping Booker out with the show and doing what we could to see if we could help. Right now, to the best of my knowledge, it is just a one-shot deal for now.”
Thanks to Fightful for providing transcriptions of the above.
