Shawn Michaels Drops F-Bomb After Failing to Recognize NXT Star in Guessing Game

Shawn Michaels is the boss down in NXT and he has a solid relationship with all the talent, especially the women. That’s why fans enjoyed seeing him play a fun game recently, where he tried to guess which female NXT wrestler was speaking just by hearing their voice.

Jordynne Grace took to Twitter and uploaded a video featuring Shawn Michaels, who was trying to guess several female NXT stars just by their voice. First up was Izzi Dame, who called Shawn’s name but he failed to recognize and said “Pass.”

Thea Hail came next but Michaels instantly gave up and said, “I’m doing horrible at this.” When Zaria came out and said “Hey Shawn,” he immediately recognized her and said, “That’s Zaria.”

When Kelani Jordan came out, Michaels wasted no time guessing it was her and Jordan was happy. Jaida Parker was up next but Michaels failed to guess Parker and immediately dropped an f-bomb, much to the shock of Parker and the rest.

The Heartbreak Kid then successfully guessed Lash Legend and Lola Vice, much to their approval. Michaels also didn’t break a sweat when correctly guessing Jordynne Grace. He once again failed to name Izzi Dame but when Thea Hail screamed, Michaels finally recognized her. Finally, after numerous failed attempts, Michaels named Parker after she said, “Hey Coach,” and then all the female talent did Michaels’ signature pose at him.

This fun moment gave fans a rare look at the close bond Shawn Michaels shares with the women of NXT. Even with the stress of running WWE’s developmental brand, it’s clear he still makes time to have fun and build strong connections with the talent.
