Michaels wishes he could do it so he can help them unlock a new level.

As NXT overseer Shawn Michaels continues to make the media rounds ahead of the CW premiere show on October 1st, one of his stops was Busted Open

As the conversation went on, Michaels stated that there’s a lot of talent on the NXT roster that he wishes he could get in the ring with. That response came about because it was mentioned that Trick Williams is on the cusp of hitting a new level. Michaels said he wishes he could get in there with Williams to push him there.

I get it (that itch) with many of our talent. There are times that I wish I could just get in there with them once. Again, to help them. Again, you both know it. You’re in there with that certain somebody and then it is this feel, this feel, this mysterious feel we always talk about when we’re talking to one another or we’re talking to young talent. They’re able to grasp it. Right now, it’s something that alludes them. They hear about, but you don’t know it until you’ve felt it and you know very — whether it’s you Bubba (Ray Dudley), whether it’s you Mark (Henry), or myself, there are times that you know I can make them feel this in that moment if I could just be out there with them. But look, that goes back to the patience on our part, the patience on their part and doing everything that we can to put them with the best people or put them in the right situations and give them the right mindset to know what it is they’re looking for and then to recognize when they see it or feel it.

Williams is on the marquee for the NXT on CW premiere. He’ll be challenging Ethan Page for the NXT Championship and the special guest referee for the bout is CM Punk.
