Speaking to My San Antonio, Shawn Michaels discussed how WWE will recruit future stars for NXT.
Michaels stated that NXT will continue with the shift made in 2021, which saw the company focus on signing young college athletes with no wrestling background. He did add that WWE will also recruit talent from the independent circuit, saying:
“We are still reaching out to other people with experience that have wrestled on the independent scene or been out in Japan or in other companies. That is something NXT will continue to do in the future. Nothing is off the table. We simply want to continue to find people that are just as passionate about the WWE product as we are.”
Michaels described the changes that occurred when Triple H was no longer in charge of NXT as “sudden.”
“A lot of people don’t start out great at something, they learn, and they get there. And that is what we are doing here. I’ve dealt with good and bad press and up and downs, but these are inexperienced young men and women that really got tossed into a tough and challenging situation and did a good job.
“I am extremely proud of them and this crew. What we have accomplished here in the last year is nothing short of a miracle in my opinion.”
