WWE Announces Huge Return of a Hall of Famer

Finn Balor and Kyle O’Reilly will have a miniature battle on NXT before the war for the NXT Title at Takeover. However, this won’t a battle of fists but instead, a battle of wits. If you haven’t guessed it by now, the two Superstars are preparing for a face-to-face meet prior to their in-ring match. As per the announcement, they will be joined by WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels!

Shawn Michaels plays a crucial role in NXT

The Hall of Famer hosting the face-to-face segment will aid WWE in racking up viewership. Moreover, Shawn Michaels has played a major role in establishing the groundwork for NXT.

Not only has he provided his valuable inputs on how to improve the show, but also helped Triple H in writing storylines for the Superstars.

On top of that, Michaels also helps in scouting talent for WWE NXT. In fact, he has reiterated time and again that he is very proud of the Superstars of tomorrow coming forward and taking their rightful place on the Black and Gold brand.

WWE NXT is the brand where all the best talent is first showcased to the audience. Essentially, this means that NXT has always had initial access to the best talent. Some of those names are Keith Lee, Adam Cole, and Shayna Baszler. Having someone like Michaels on-board really helps these Superstars at a very crucial stage of their careers.

Additionally, he is completely focused on ensuring that NXT beats AEW in the weekly Wednesday Night Wars. As a matter of fact, he has emphasized heavily on improving the talent that NXT presents to the audience along with the challenges and presentation. 

Before Michaels became a part of WWE, he was making his name at NWA, AWA, and even Texas All Star Wrestling. Following this, he advanced to running his own wrestling academy at the Performance Centre.

Coming back to the NXT Championship match, it is set to be an iconic contest. Kyle O’Reilly is a top tier talent who will finally get his moment in the sun.

O’Reilly emerged as the top contender for the NXT title after going through the rigorous Gauntlet Eliminator Match. On the other hand, Finn Balor defeated Adam Cole to become the NXT Champion.
