During a recent interview with TalkSport, Kay Lee Ray commented on Shawn Michaels being the “dad” of WWE NXT UK, and more. You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On appearing at War Games, Survivor Series and Worlds Collide: “I really loved all of those opportunities I was given, but I didn’t really know about them with a lot of time in advance. It’s just a case of ‘do you want to do this? Let’s do this – let’s go!’ And I am more then ready to pick that back up again anytime that they fancy it. Anytime we’re allowed to go over to America, that would be a good thing.”
On Bayley and Sasha Banks: “Me, I loved them as a team. I thought what they were doing was fantastic and I loved every second of it. There was a moment when Bayley turned on Sasha where I wasn’t quite sure how I felt about it and that’s me saying that! [laughs]. But, she probably did the right thing, we’ll see what happens. She’s still got her title, so it works?”
On Triple H and Shawn Michaels: “It still sounds weird when you say it back to me [that Triple H and Shawn Michaels are fans of her]. At the tapings, Shawn was the voice of god with his voice over the monitor. For a moment, you forgot like oh my god, they’re watching us. But then you do something and you hear them [laughs]. To be trusted and be put in the position I am is incredible. It still doesn’t really hit home that Shawn Michaels is the dad of NXT UK really! It means a lot. When I first started watching wrestling, how could I not get drawn in by DX and everything they did? Shawn Michaels was one of my favorites from the very beginning so now that I have him say ‘you did a good job’ it’s still a bit unbelievable.”
