WWE News: World reacts to Shawn Michael's return as the special guest refree

Texas's favorite son, Shawn Michaels — Texas's favourite son, Shawn Michaels

Earlier today, WWE and NXT announced that, during the NXT show in San Antonio this November 17th, the main event between Drew McIntrye and Adam Cole will be refereed by the one and only Shawn Michaels.

Of course, the two participants in the match made their thoughts known on the social media platform, as well.

Shawn has frequently been a part of WWE appearances in San Antonio or other SA sports franchises as an ambassador of WWE, but this is the first time he will be a part of anything related to NXT in the public eye.

In the meantime, we've scoured Twitter for some of the smartest and funniest tweets about HBK donning the stripes once again.

Like me, someone thought at the time that this announcement was about Takeover. But it's still a funny tweet.

Are you going to be at the Nov. 17th show with HBK? Shoot me a message on Twitter and let me know how it is!
