Grayson Waller Praises Shawn Michaels’ Efforts In NXT

Grayson Waller has recently offered up some positive thoughts on Shawn Michaels after the two had a tumultuous past in NXT. Speaking to The Collection with Brad Gillmore, Waller discussed both his onscreen rivalry with ‘The Heartbreak Kid’ and getting to learn so much from HBK backstage. You can see a highlight below (per Wrestling Inc):

On his NXT history with Shawn Michaels: “I know personally me and Shawn in the past haven’t necessarily got along, but it is what it is I can still show him the respect, and I see the investment that he has in the talent there. When you’re someone that he sees something in, he’s going to go in and he’s going to do whatever it takes to help you out. The right people down there are going to use him appropriately, and get them to the main roster and get them to big things on the main roster.”

On how Michaels helps NXT get the props it does: “He’s straight to the point, he’s blunt, there’s no babying down there for when you’re with Shawn. He’s going to tell you exactly what he thinks and that’s the guy to listen to. He’s literally done it all, so if you’re not going to Shawn for advice and you’re not taking in any lessons from him, you’re not going to go anywhere.”
