In an interview with WGN Radio (via Fightful), Shawn Michaels spoke about the ongoing TNA-WWE partnership and said that it is still in its beginning stages. The two companies started working together this January when Jordynne Grace appeared in the Royal Rumble match. Since then, TNA and NXT stars have appeared on each other’s shows.
Michaels said: “Well, look, that’s obviously incredibly intriguing and interesting right now. I think we are still in the very beginning stages of that, exploring the different possibilities, and those are all things we’re going to look at going forward. I’m obviously very pleased to know that these are partnerships that WWE is now open to, and I think that makes for unlimited possibilities. Now, what the specifics of all of those are as we go into the future, that’ll be decided by people certainly more important than me. For me, getting to be the benefactor of having all these different talents at your utilization is very exciting for us. As we continue to explore those opportunities going forward, I think it’s going to make for some pretty fantastic dream matches that are possible out there that I think a lot of people are going to want to see.“
