WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels will square off against Johnny Gargano at NXT Takeover: WarGames in a contest to determine which one of them has better abs.
HBK proposed they both train to see who can get in the best shape by Takeover. At the show, they’ll compare abs to determine the winner.
Michaels noted that at 52, he’s not wrestling anymore and needs something to work for.
He posted a video on Monday night explaining the challenge to Gargano:
