Shawn Michaels believes NXT provides the perfect platform for WWE Superstars like Baron Corbin to revive their careers.
Corbin recently returned to NXT after seven years on WWE's main roster. The 38-year-old unsuccessfully challenged Carmelo Hayes for the NXT Championship on June 27. Since then, he has been on a mission to find his true self after portraying several different personas in recent years.
In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Riju Dasgupta, NXT booker Michaels explained why Corbin returned to WWE's developmental brand:
"He's coming back here. He's having a great deal of fun. He's finding himself again. He's finding his voice. He's finding who it is he wants to be. Not who someone else wants him to be, but who is Baron Corbin and who is he going to be going forward in the wrestling business? And, more importantly, here in the WWE." [6:27 – 6:45]
