Shawn Michaels has high praise for Trick Williams and Ethan Page.
On the October 1 edition of WWE NXT, Ethan Page will defend the NXT Championship against Trick Williams. This will be Williams' first shot at the belt since losing it to Page in a four way bout at Heatwave in July.
While speaking to Busted Open Radio for a new interview, 'The Heartbreak Kid' himself had some high praise for both individuals, saying that they're two of the fastest rising stars in NXT history
"Trick Williams [is] arguably the most popular, charismatic star in NXT history. Trick is somebody that rose to the top pretty quickly. Everybody sees his charisma, sees the gifts that he has. But going up against a guy as experienced as Ethan Page, he’s got his work cut out for him. But he’s somebody that wants to reclaim the NXT Championship. What better place to do it than in Chicago on the launch of the CW show? But this is a huge platform for both guys, for the entire NXT roster. I’m not sure if anybody has had a quicker and bigger ascension to the NXT Championship than Ethan Page. He’s somebody who came in obviously with a great deal of experience, and clearly that experience serves him well, he’s been the NXT Champion. The way he went about winning that title may be questionable in the eyes of some people, but he’s been a fantastic champion from that point on, and he obviously wants to prove that he’s worthy of that championship by defending it against Trick Williams."
Elsewhere in the interview, Michaels talked about Giulia's upcoming NXT debut. Learn more about those comments here.
