Shawn Michaels Credits Sexyy Red For Putting Him “Back On The Map”

TLDR

Shawn Michaels credits Sexyy Red with putting him "back on the map" following their viral DX-style segment that opened NXT Stand & Deliver on April 4, 2026. Speaking on 7PM in Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony, Michaels acknowledged the online explosion after videos of their throwback segment spread across social media, calling it "absolute silliness" watching a 60-year-old man try to move like he was younger. The segment, which featured both performers doing the classic "suck it" line, reached audiences outside the usual wrestling bubble and Michaels says he's embracing the viral attention.
