HBK’s Comeback May Be Fueled By Time In NXT

Triple H recently talked with SkySports and suggested that Shawn Michaels’ time as an NXT trainer may be what’s behind his newfound desire to get back in the ring,

“One thing I know about Shawn is that only he will know. He’s gone back and forth on this a million times I think. I think being involved with the Performance Center and being in NXT, there’s something about these young guys and girls being hungry and driven that reinvigorates everybody that goes down there. Guys who have been in the business a long time say being around that talent relights their fire and the passion you have for this when you first start. I think that’s where he is and what has made him think differently about this.”
