WWE Hall Of Famer Shawn Michaels has been doing quite a bit of work with NXT as of late. “The Heartbreak Kid” has served as a trainer at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando. He also regularly helps produce NXT programming. Recently, “HBK” spoke to international media to help promote WWE NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool. Throughout his time working with NXT, Michaels has gotten a first-hand look at WWE’s future stars.
In his comments, Michaels had quite a bit of praise for WWE NXT UK star Jordan Devlin. Michaels said that Devlin is oozing confidence at the moment, and is really getting into a groove:
“One guy who I didn’t know, or hadn’t seen was Jordan Devlin,” Michaels said. “He was good when he came in, but now he is really starting to feel it. [Jordan] is oozing confidence.
“And I hate to pinpoint one person, but I have seen him grow exponentially He is a real talented kid, and his ceiling is pretty darn high.”
Michaels went on to talk about what it has been like helping the young WWE talent in NXT. While he enjoyed being front-and-center on camera during his heyday, Michaels truly enjoys helping these young men and women blossom into big stars in the industry:
“As much as I loved being in front of the camera and having my moments, I have found watching these men and women have their’s is almost like watching your kids,” Michaels said.
“Seeing the joy on their face when they come back. It’s impossible to work with someone so much and not get attached to them. And we want that for these young guys, and we want to build these facilities who allow them to do that.”
