Shawn Michaels comments on NXT talent working indies

Shawn Michaels says that NXT talent will not broadly be afforded the opportunity to work independent shows.

Last week, The Wrestling Observer reported that talent would be able to work shows outside of WWE, but Michaels denied the report during the NXT Vengeance Day post-PLE media scrum.

“As of right now, that was honesty a one-shot deal,” Michaels said of Ivy Nile working for ROW. There’s no talk of any of that to my knowledge. Right now that was just us helping Booker out with the show.” ROW is the wrestling promotion that Booker T runs and books.

Vengeance Day aired on Peacock on Saturday night from Charlotte. It is the first NXT PLE to take place outside of Orlando since the pandemic began in March of 2020.
