However, despite retaining the title, Dominik didn’t get any laurels because of the interference by Rhea Ripley. Ripley, who distracted Ali, allowed Dom to steal the victory by pinning Wes Lee. 

To add to that, backstage footage from WWE has caused more heat for the champion. 

In the segment, you can see Shawn Michaels extending a handshake to congratulate the champ, but Dom refuses to shake it and walks away with Ripley. An angry Michaels then gave him a stern reply, winning applause from fans on social media. The Heartbreak Kid retorted by saying “Your daddy should have spanked your a*s”

Michaels, who works with NXT talent, post his retirement, met with fans online who wanted him to teach Dominik a harsh lesson.  

Some fans wanted HBK to tune up the band with some sweet chin music.

“Imagine if Shawn Michaels would of hit him with a sweet chin music like the old days. That would of been golden”

“Prime Shawn would’ve kicked both of there teeth down there throat”

Others supported Shawn for the lack of disrespect shown by Mysterio Jr.

“Ok not shaking HBK’s hand is where I draw the line f you Dom”

“You said it HBK. You are the best.Another win by cheating for baby Dominick by Rhea. Those belts should be relinquished by those two. So unworthy of them. Cheating all the time. What a mess they are”

The outrageous support continued for Michaels.

“THANK YOU SHAWN! Finally someone said it!”
