This is Shawn Michael’s second backstage promotion in recent months. During the announcement of NXT Europe, the Heartbreak Kid was listed as Vice President of that same department. In 2021, following the former head of NXT Triple H’s cardiac event, Michaels took over the role.
Previously, Michaels was with Triple H as a trainer and producer for the brand for over five years. Following the Triple H’s healthy return and his own promotion within the company, Shawn’s role with the brand not only continues, but is set to be expanded.
According to the reports, Shawn Michaels will not only be in charge of running NXT and developing its talent, but expanding the brand as well. This includes next year’s launch of NXT Europe.
