Shawn Michaels has stated that he has no desire to return to the ring.
During a recent interview with Sportskeeda, the WWE Hall of Famer reiterated that he has no plans to return to the ring. Furthermore, the D-X member expressed his delight at being able to mentor WWE NXT’s younger talent.
Highlights from the interview are included below:
On a potential in-ring return:
“No, I absolutely don’t think about that at all anymore. I’m so enamored and enjoy helping these young men and women come through NXT. I’ve had my time in the sun. I absolutely enjoyed every bit of it, but I so thoroughly enjoy being able to help them and allow them to have the same opportunities that I had. This is about the generation of a Bron Breakker, Julius and Brutus Creed, Tiffany Stratton – we have a number of young men and women coming through ‘NXT’ who are going to be huge, huge superstars on the main roster. I don’t think anyone is going to be surprised if they see Bron Breakker and Carmelo Hayes headlining a WrestleMania someday in the very near future … that’s what I’m obviously focused on.”
On working with Finn Balor in NXT:
“I was very happy to be able … to work with Finn Balor here in his second run in NXT because I sort of missed out on it the first time. I happened to have a great deal of respect and admiration for Finn and everything he’s brought to NXT.”
