Ava disclosed the details of her backstage chit-chat with Heyman on NXT: New Year’s Evil. She stated Heyman had advised her to step up and provide a helping hand to Shawn Michaels, who is running NXT.

She said, It was brought to my attention a couple months ago when a Wiseman told me that as the brand continues to grow, Shawn Michaels, he may need some help and that’s where I come in. I have a unique relationship with the NXT roster. I have some of my own ideas, sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t.”

Ever since then, she has taken a new role as an authority figure for NXT and become HBK’s assistant.
