NXT Star Comments On Relationship With Shawn Michaels

NXT Star Comments On Relationship With Shawn Michaels WWE

The WWE NXT North American Champion Wes Lee has spoken about his relationship with Shawn Michaels during his time in NXT.

Speaking on the Getting Over: Wrestling Podcast, Wes Lee reflected:

“I still can’t wrap my head around [the fact that] I have that man’s phone number.”

Michaels is more than just a number in Lee’s phone book, though, with the champion going on to say:

“We have interactions everyday that I see him at the PC and yes, the inner child in me is like, losing his mind over the fact that I have this relationship with Shawn Michaels.”

It’s clearly a deeper connection for both men than just business, with Lee explaining:

“The fact that we have been able to shed tears with each other means that we have a connection that you don’t really get to have with a lot of people and for me to have that with one of my idols is, my entire time here has been indescribable, honestly.”

Following Lee’s victory at NXT Halloween Havoc, footage emerged of Shawn Michaels embracing Wes Lee, congratulating the new champion.
