NXT Higher Ups Happy With Tian Sha Gimmick
It hasn’t been featured heavily of late, but Tian Sha is over with a couple of integral figures within NXT.
Fightful Select reported recently that Shawn Michaels and Triple H are fans of the gimmick, which features three longtime NXT stars.
The Tian Sha gimmick seems to have made a good impression among NXT highers ups. Fightful was told that Triple H and Shawn Michaels specifically have taken a liking to the gimmick, and see it having a long-term future. We’re also told by those backstage that they’ve been very hands on with the character and presentation. Thus far on screen, the Mei Ying character has been portrayed by the former Karen Q, who had not wrestled since July 2019 since suffering a knee injury. She hasn’t appeared on-screen for WWE since the 2018 Mae Young Classic, where ironically, she faced Xia Li.
