Shawn Michaels comments on Stephanie Vaquer and Giulia's recent NXT debuts and what he thinks they can bring to the brand.
The NXT brand has gotten an influx of global women's wrestling superstars, such as Joshi star Giulia and luchadora Stephanie Vaquer. Both have been treated like major stars, and they have already closed on multiple episodes of WWE NXT in a short time with the promotion.
Appearing on Busted Open Radio, Michaels praised the "It" factor both ladies bring to the table when previewing their upcoming tag team match against Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade at WWE NXT Halloween Havoc.
"You can see the special talents that they are and why WWE and NXT went after both of them. They have ‘it.’ You can see it when they come out. They have a presence about them. Looking at Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade, they’ll tell you that you can get along with and have a great relationship with people behind the scenes, but when the newbies come in and there is excitement, there is a good wholesome competition going on in our women’s division because it is so stacked. You have people coming into NXT with outside fanfare and our girls take offense too it. Nobody more than Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade. From Roxanne’s standpoint, she feels she’s a pillar. They’re looking to make those two girls prove themselves. I think Stephanie and Giulia understand that. They have been great since coming to NXT. They are still finding their footing on a day-to-day basis, but when they step inside the ring, those two are ready to go and take NXT and WWE by storm."
NXT has also gotten a third major international women's Superstar in the form of ZARIA, formerly known as DELTA. Learn more about her debut here.
