Shawn Michaels recently spoke with WGN Radio for an in-depth interview promoting WWE NXT’s upcoming move to The CW network after they wrap up their current run on the USA Network.
Ahead of the WWE NXT premiere on The CW on October 1, WWE has announced two big shows with CM Punk scheduled for the 10/1 show at AllState Arena in Chicago, Illinois, and Randy Orton scheduled for the show the following week on October 8.
During his WGN Radio interview, “The Heartbreak Kid” spoke about the CM Punk appearance and how WWE has other surprises in store for the big WWE NXT on The CW debut shows.
“Can’t let the cat out of the bag on that right now,” Michaels said of Punk’s plans for his appearance. “So, he’s going to be there. He’s going to be playing a major role, obviously, for us, and again, as I said. Certainly, other surprises are sure to come.”
Michaels continued, “The NXT Universe, as they say, are very excited to be coming to Chicago. Here in Orlando, our talent, we absolutely love our home base here and our arena, but getting out on the road is a really big event for us and for our talent, so they’re excited to come. Perform in front of, again, not just saying that, one of the greatest crowds that everybody around the world knows about, that’s Chicago there at the Allstate Arena. Absolutely one of the best crowds to perform in front of, and our NXT Superstars are extremely excited about getting to do just that.”
