WWE Hall Of Famer Shawn Michaels was interviewed today on The MMA Hour about NXT, the recent changes in the company, and the future.
When asked about the possibility of NXT selling out large buildings again, Michaels said he is focused on the developmental aspects of NXT:
“At the forefront, I’m more focused on developmental and developing the young men and women that we have pass through here and getting them prepared for the main roster. In the process, if we are able to build back this brand where we can get back into those arenas and start selling them out, that’s a bonus, but I can’t say honestly that’s the goal right now. To me, I’m focused on the development of these young men and women. But I tell you, the more people we can get that have experience that can filter through our system, it’s only going to help.”
The full interview can be seen below. Toward the end of it, Michaels is asked about Bret Hart and the last time they met in person. Michaels was also asked if there’s anything he would change about the Montreal Screwjob in 1997. Click below for the full interview.
