Shawn Michaels Teases New Look For WWE NXT In CW Debut

WWE NXT makes its debut on The CW next week, and Shawn Michaels says that there will be changes in the show’s look on their new home. Michaels spoke with the Chicago Tribune about the upcoming show and what changes are planned for the brand on The CW.

“Certainly we want to make a big splash on the CW Network,” he said. “We’ll have some big changes, but I think more of that will be from a look and physical standpoint. We will still be what NXT is, which is bringing some of the most talented, young, diverse athletes in all of the nation, and developing them into the WWE superstars of tomorrow.”

He continued, “The hunger, the passion that’s always been the core value of NXT is always going to be there. But certainly we’ll try to put on some pretty cool bells and whistles for the CW launch on Oct. 1.”

The show will feature Ethan Page defending the NXT Championship against Trick Williams, Giulia challenging Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women’s Championship and more.
