WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels and NXT have the wrestling world buzzing after their small crossover with TNA Wrestling in the form of Jordynne Grace. Michaels revealed more information about potential projects ahead of the Clash at the Castle Premium Live Event in Glasgow, Scotland.
In an interview with Sportsnet, The Heartbreak Kid discussed the possibility of expanding NXT's relationship with TNA Wrestling and other wrestling promotions. The WWE legend called it a possibility, but his main focus at the moment was building the match card for NXT Heatwave 2024.
"I will say that I think there's some probably more possibilities out there in the minds of other people than we actually are. We're really sort of at this point of possibly having, but again thrilled about the partnership that we had with TNA. Obviously, looking forward to more of that in the future but I'll also say at the same time, there's still a lot of things in the process. My focus for right now is obviously on NXT and obviously coming to Toronto on July 7 for NXT Heatwave," Shawn Michaels said. [8:39 - 9:15]

While there is no formal announcement from Shawn Michaels and TNA Wrestling, there are hints that more collaboration will be done soon. Jordynne Grace has an Open Challenge at the upcoming TNA Against All Odds Pay-Per-View and there are rumors that an NXT star could accept it.
There will also be a 25-man Battle Royal to determine the next challenger for Trick Williams' NXT Championship. The participants for the match will reportedly "come from all locker rooms," so there is a chance that non-WWE stars could make an appearance next Tuesday.
WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels is not done with going viral on social media
WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels is having a lot of fun being in charge of NXT and has been more present on the white and gold brand's social media activity. Michaels' interactions with American rapper Sexyy Red and Jordynne Grace have gone viral, and nothing is stopping The Heartbreak Kid from continuing it.
"The social team seems to be having a lot of fun with me. I'm just doing my best to, I don't know, to not do anything too stupid. But, you know, my children are already used to being embarrassed by their father so, you know, I may continue that as we get down the road," Shawn Michaels told Sportsnet.
