Shawn Michaels Says Rip Fowler And Jagger Reid Are Too Good Not To Be Used Prominently On NXT

Shawn Michaels puts over The Dyad.

Rip Fowler and Jagger Reid have made it clear that they want out of their WWE deals, despite being used often on NXT TV. The members of The Schism have said that their deals expire in October and they will be leaving the company when this happens.

Since then, they have remained prominent names on NXT TV.Alistair McGeorge of Metro asked Shawn Michaels about the status of The Dyad in the wake of their request being denied during a media call before the WWE NXT Battleground event.

“Obviously, obviously, I do. They were guys that clearly, I wanted to come over and bring over from the UK. I think they’re very talented. I absolutely understand. It’s one of the things that I tell everybody here. Do I want it to be here in the WWE for you to have your success? Absolutely. I can’t lie about that. Really, this is about, no matter who comes through these doors, help them to have success in this business as a whole,” said HBK. “I always tell everybody, ‘I feel so fortunate for the life that I have and my family and I have. It’s because of this job, and now there is a real opportunity for everyone in this line of work to have that.’ I want that for them. I understand how they feel, but as I mentioned to them, ‘while you are here, I still want to put you in a prominent role.’ There are no hard feelings in that respect. There is too much talent there to waste or leave on the table. If they don’t mind work, I sure as heck don’t mind using them.”

We will have to wait and see if The Dyad can be convinced to remain with WWE upon their deals expiring in October, but Shawn Michaels is more than happy to keep them on television even if they don’t.
