WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels recently made an appearance on the “Stick to Wrestling” podcast to discuss a wide range of topics.
During the podcast, the “Heartbreak Kid” was asked about what matches could take place at the WWE NXT Battleground pay-per-view event later this month. He shared that he would like to see Noam Dar defend the Heritage Cup. He also teased that Ilja Dragunov’s feud with Dijak will continue.
“I feel like Noam Dar, he has brought over the Heritage Cup from the U.K. I feel like that’s something that, again, the American audiences need to sort of see it and understand and appreciate. One of the things I’d like to see in maybe the next couple weeks is the first-ever defense of the Heritage Cup happening there at Battleground on the 28th. That is a very unique, different kind of match, and again, not everybody can do that. It’s a Rounds Match. It sounds like something that, I don’t know, work as well, but it is amazing, what those NXT UK guys did in those Heritage Cup matches. So I feel like that’s something that we’re gonna have, and I gotta believe, I don’t know what’s gonna happen with Ilja Dragunov and Dijak. Hopefully, they get it settled next week, but I don’t know. There’s a lot of brimstone and fire going on with those two guys. Who knows what’s gonna happen? It’s gonna be combustible, let’s put it that way,” Michaels said.
