The former multi-time champion has been a trainer/coach at NXT for the last few years. Instead of constantly being front in center, Shawn Michaels revealed that "he's wanted to stay behind the scenes" because "it's even more enjoyable watching these other young upstarts have their moments out there." He also feels that it's "so much more fulfilling than I thought it would be" and that "it's never tough to go to work" while working with NXT.

Renee Young asked him about which stars are currently ones to watch, and Michaels named three men - Karrion Kross, Tim Thatcher, and Dexter Lumis. He claimed that there are "a number of guys that are coming up that will make their mark."

HBK also shared an interesting story about the current WWE Champion and how he asked to come and train with Michaels in NXT. HBK said "That's the reason why I love this job so much. He didn't have to come and he did that four-hour round trip, was always willing, had a desire to learn, and was willing to improve."

Michaels also felt that McIntyre is naturally talented. He added, "He was so appreciative, so respectful. He almost had to go back down to the bottom before to get to the top."
