WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker commends the exceptional work of a 58-year-old icon, who happens to be his former rival, within the Stamford-based promotion.
The revered figure in question is none other than Shawn Michaels, presently serving as the Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative and overseeing the creative direction of the NXT brand.
Michaels and The Undertaker share a storied history of intense rivalry and unexpected camaraderie. On-screen, they engaged in epic battles spanning decades, including memorable clashes like their encounters at WrestleMania 25 and 26.
Their dynamic interactions propelled both performers to greater heights, both inside the ring and in terms of storytelling.
Recently, The Deadman effusively praised former NXT Champion Bron Breakker for his promising future. However, amidst accolades, credit must also be given to WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels, according to The Undertaker.
During an episode of his Six Feet Under podcast, The Undertaker lauded Michaels’ contributions to the NXT brand and acknowledged the dedication of Matt Bloom in nurturing young talents at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando:
“What a freaking super job that he’s (Shawn Michaels) doing down there. Shawn, when he was in his run and something went wrong, Shawn flipped a gasket. I mean we all did… If you’re a top guy or a top baby face or even a heel things don’t go right… He’s so chill down there. And Matt Bloom, all those guys that are down there, they’re so nurturing. It’s crazy, it’s so well done,” he remarked.
