Overview

• In an interview on Justin Barrasso’s Substack Undisputed, Michaels asserted NXT is the best and most exciting two-hour show on television as part of his role overseeing the brand as WWE’s SVP of Talent Development and Creative.
• He credited the show’s rise to The CW deal, collaborations with promotions such as NOAH, TNA and AAA, and the work of NXT’s athletes, coaches, creative and production teams at the Performance Center.
• Michaels praised Ethan Page and Chelsea Green as two of the most enjoyable performers to watch, calling both hardworking and consistently entertaining.
• At the Heatwave event, Page and Green defeated Tavion Heights and Tyra Mae Steele in a mixed tag team match.
• Coverage amplified Michaels’ claim while noting critiques about NXT’s men’s title scene and roster depth, and some outlets reported WWE scheduled NXT No Mercy for September 27 in Fort Lauderdale and Halloween Havoc for October 25 in Prescott Valley.
