Shawn Michaels to come out of retirement after years for a match against 34-year-old star? Exploring the possibility
WWE NXT has been delivering some incredible shows lately under Shawn Michaels' creative vision. The WWE Hall of Famer has been pulling the strings of the storylines and feuds from behind the curtains. However, HBK could be forced to come out of his corporate den and lace up his wrestling boots again.
Michaels could step into the ring for a match against Eddy Thorpe after what transpired last night on NXT. The 34-year-old superstar wanted to have a conversation with Ava backstage despite the latter resisting. Things escalated when Thorpe tried to grab the GM's hand just as she was walking away. Moments later Ava was knocked down by a door due to a brawl that erupted beside her.
In the aftermath of the incident, Shawn Michaels stormed into Eddy Thorpe, blazing with fury. The WWE legend shoved the NXT star into the wall for laying his hands on the GM. This has ignited the speculations of The Heartbreak Kid taking matters into his own hands to teach Thorpe a lesson. However, the possibility of Michaels coming out of retirement is quite low.
It is because the 59-year-old has fully embraced his corporate role as the Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative. Michaels does not intend to come out of his corporate suit which he highlighted on several occasions. Shawn Michaels is fully focused on building future talent in the company. Besides, age is another major factor that might never allow him to step into the squared circle again.
Regardless of what the future holds for the WWE Hall of Famer, his backstage segment with Eddy Thorpe has certainly garnered a lot of buzz among wrestling fans.
Shawn Michaels to suspend Eddy Thorpe from NXT for his actions?
Eddy Thorpe has received another opportunity to qualify for the Iron Survivor Challenge match at NXT: Deadline. He will compete in a Fatal Four Way Match next week with Cedric Alexander, Axiom, and Lexis King. However, it looks like the 34-year-old could suffer an unfortunate fate in light of what transpired this week.
There is a possibility that Shawn Michaels could take strict action against Thorpe for laying hands on NXT General Manager, Ava. The WWE legend could pull him out from the Fatal Four Way match which is scheduled for the upcoming edition of the show, squandering his opportunity to compete at NXT: Deadline
Moreover, Michaels might also suspend Eddy Thorpe from NXT for the unforeseeable future as a punishment. This could take this storyline to different heights, adding a new layer to it. Moreover, Thorpe could return to the brand after a few months with a new character.
However, this is just speculation at this point. It remains to be seen what NXT's creative head has in store.
