In a recent interview with Nightcap, WWE Hall of Famer and NXT executive Shawn Michaels talked about various topics, including the possibility of returning to the ring.
This is what Shawn Michaels said, “Not a chance. I’m so blessed and so unfortunate to have done what I’ve done. I’m so overjoyed to be doing what I do now and helping the future of WWE. Being part of that, NXT is thriving on Tuesday nights on CW Network. To help these young men and women to achieve their passions and dreams is something that I had no idea I’d enjoy this much, but it is so great. I think the business is in tremendous hands for the future.”
On if he misses performing in the ring:
“I don’t. The physical aspect, I don’t miss. The travel, I don’t miss. I’m able to still get that same charge when we’re sitting there and I’m telling a story to these talents where I’m trying to convey, ‘This is what we’re looking for out of this match, and we’re going to tell this story. This is going to happen, and at the end, hopefully they come unglued.’ When that happens and it all comes together, it’s that feeling where you watch the joy in that talent’s heart when they’re finally getting it. It’s in a different aspect that I receive that charge that I used to have when I got in the ring.”
