#3. Hope is true: Shawn Michaels pushing for a Champion backstage
Shawn Michaels has been an influential figure in the past couple of years in NXT. While hesitant at first, he managed to work everything out with Triple H and has since taken an important backstage role for NXT.
Naturally, having a talent like Shawn Michaels in the mix is a huge boost to the talent and their learning process. It'll be interesting to see which superstars have caught the eye of Shawn Michaels, but we do know one such person - current NXT Cruiserweight Champion Jordan Devlin. Devlin has long been criticized for being a "Finn Balor knockoff", but he's more than justified his presence and individuality while in NXT: UK.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Shawn Michaels has been pushing big for Jordan Devlin to have an increased presence:
Shawn Michaels is big on Jordan Devlin, per the Observer, and the idea is for him to defend the cruiserweight title across all brands.
We hope this is true because having Michaels behind him will be a big boost for Devlin and his overall confidence.
