3) Shawn Michaels’ New Backstage Role
On the latest edition of WWE’s After The Bell podcast, Triple H made some interesting comments about Shawn Michaels. Specifically, Shawn’s current role in WWE.
Triple H hinted that Shawn is essentially the guy who is in charge of the NXT UK brand. Here is what he said:
“The one thing that Shawn isn’t even mentioning on his end, everybody has so much going on, but as NXT was evolving to USA [Network] and picking up that pace it made me have to back out of some things. Shawn picked up the ball on the UK and basically that got pushed his way. He was such an integral part of it anyway that he just kind of latched on more to it. He’s been heading over there, what is it? Every five or six weeks we do television. He’s kind of heading over there and spearheading that. Sort of taking on the ownership of that brand totally in and of himself.”
My Take:
- It is pretty cool to see Shawn following in the footsteps of Triple H. It is also pretty cool that Shawn is giving back to the wrestling business.
2) Dash Wilder Is Not Actually Injured
There was some concern a few days ago that Dash Wilder could be dealing with an injury. That is because Scott Dawson wrestled a singles match at a recent WWE live event (with Wilder in his corner).
The good news is that Wilder is fine. He wrestled in the dark match after Smackdown a few days ago, where The Revival was defeated by Lucha House Party:
My Take:
- That is really good news as you never want to see anybody get injured. My hope is that the booking of The Revival improves over the next few months as I am a big fan of theirs.
