Shawn Michaels wants his revenge for Pat McAfee disrespecting the NXT roster.
Issues between the two personalities have been brewing since the release of the latest WWE 2K24 DLC. The “Pat McAfee Pack” gives players the chance to play as the WWE announcer, as well as his friends from his show. These include AJ Hawk, Boston Conner, Darius Butler, and Ty Schmit.
However, fans aren’t thrilled with the pack, and they have responded. Ty Schmidt added to the tension, claiming that people want “some of these other losers no-one has ever heard of from NXT”, instead of the radio hosts.
“…You know a lot of people are pissed, especially that D-Butch(Butler), Connor, myself, AJ are in it because they want some of these other losers that no one has ever heard of from NXT to be in the game. ‘Why are these guys not in the DLC pack?’ Well, it’s because no one wants to play with them, that’s why. At first, it was like, man, should I be upset that these people are pissed that we’re in the game? No, Absolutely not. F*ck them. That’s kind of where I stand.”
Shawn Michaels was quick to respond on Twitter, and challenged McAfee’s crew to a 4 on 4 match. He challenged Hawk, Connor, Butler and Schmit to a four-on-four wrestling match following those comments.
However, the Heartbreak Kid won’t be involved. He offered four of his NXT talents, whom schmit called “NXT nobodies”. He said they would give the four a “ass kicking”, before telling them to get of Pat’s jock.
“.@tyschmit @BostonConnr @DariusJButler @OfficialAJHawk I’ll put my 4 up against your 4 any day of the week. Just say when you want your A** kickin! #WWENXT #GetOffPatsJock“
Despite Shawn Michaels not being involved, I’d still back NXT.
