WWE has announced that Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels will be appearing as part of the upcoming United Kingdom Championship Tournament shows taking place in June.
HBK will be appearing on June 18th alongside head of NXT Triple H. The reasoning for his appearance has not yet been confirmed but rumors have been circulating linking Michaels to the NXT General Manager role…William Regal has not been seen on NXT television since WrestleMania.

The United Kingdom Championship tournament finals will be taking place on Night 1 to determine a challenger for Pete Dunne on Night 2. Night 1 will also see a huge Six-Man tag team bout pitting British Strong Style (Pete Dunne, Tyler Bate and Trent Seven) against The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong).
