WWE Hall Of Famer Shawn Michaels Discusses The Growth Of Women’s Wrestling On NXT

Ever since Shawn Michaels took over the creative process for “WWE NXT,” multiple women’s stars have been able to grow under his tutelage. These names include Roxanne Perez, who has held the NXT Women’s Championship for over 120 days, and Kelani Jordan, who became the first ever Women’s North American Champion.

Meanwhile, younger stars such as Karmen Petrovic and Lola Vice have been given the opportunity to wrestle female veterans such as Natalya and Shayna Baszler. Speaking on Booker T’s “Hall Of Fame” podcast, Michaels went into detail about his passion to help grow women’s wrestling, as well his decision to create the Women’s North American Championship. 

Shawn Michaels, known as HBK, recently shared his thoughts on the introduction of a Women’s American Championship in NXT, paralleling the existing men’s championships. He pointed out the logical symmetry of having a women’s equivalent to the men’s North American Championship, highlighting the fairness and simplicity of such an addition.

Michaels emphasized the significant growth of women’s wrestling in WWE and the industry at large, noting that it’s finally reaching parity with the men’s division. He expressed his belief that the women’s roster in NXT currently has more depth than the men’s roster and advocated for equal opportunities for the women to achieve accolades.
