Shawn Michaels: It’s My Understanding That Everything Is On Course For NXT Europe
In August 2022, WWE announced that NXT UK would go on hiatus as the company planned to prepare to launch NXT Europe in 2023.
Triple H recently stated that more information regarding NXT Europe will be shared in the summer of 2023.
Speaking at a press scrum during WrestleMania weekend, Shawn Michaels was asked about plans for NXT Europe.
“As far as I know, no plans have changed. It’s my understanding that everything is on course. To be honest with you, I never know what I’m supposed to say about that stuff and what I’m not supposed to say. I do know that it’s still on course and we’re putting, from a creative standpoint, getting people on board that we think will help be able to write and produce that show and things of that nature. We have, in our minds, put down on paper talent that can benefit from it and also new and younger talent that we have at NXT where we say, ‘they might not be live TV ready, but these would be great prospects to do from a NXT Europe standpoint.’ Then, on our own, I’ve done research and have people look into some talent that live in the UK and Europe and look at who we feel might be the best to reach out to when the time comes that we get asked to do that,” said Michaels.
WWE filed to trademark “NXT Global” and “NXT Europe” in September 2022.
Fightful will continue to update fans on NXT Europe when more is known.
