In a surprising and delightful twist, WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels has been seen enjoying some unexpected fun with hip-hop artist Sexyy Red. The video, which has rapidly gone viral, features the wrestling legend showing off his dance skills—and possibly pushing his physical limits.
A Night of Surprises on NXT
Sexyy Red made her debut on WWE television to unveil the brand-new NXT Women’s North American Title belt. This event marked a significant moment for NXT as six of the brand’s top female stars clashed at Battleground to claim the inaugural championship. Kelani Jordan emerged victorious, cementing her place in history as the first champion to hold the new title.
The excitement didn’t stop there. The night was filled with unexpected appearances, including TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace stepping up as the challenger for Roxanne Perez’s NXT Women’s Title. Additionally, Ethan Page made a surprising debut, adding to the evening’s electrifying atmosphere.

Shawn Michaels’ Backstage Shenanigans with Sexyy Red
Adding a touch of humor and light-heartedness to the intense night of competition, a video has surfaced showing Sexyy Red twerking backstage with none other than Shawn Michaels. The clip quickly garnered attention and reactions from fans and wrestlers alike, particularly highlighting the playful side of the usually stoic Michaels.
In the video, the two can be seen dancing energetically, with Michaels attempting to keep up with Red’s moves. While the sight of the iconic wrestler twerking was enough to bring smiles to many faces, it also sparked some concerns about the toll such activities might take on the veteran’s well-being. The video was shared widely on social media, with the caption humorously noting, “Not Shawn twerking…😭😭”.
Triple H’s Predictive Humour Comes True
The incident drew a light-hearted response from Triple H, who had previously joked about Shawn Michaels potentially twerking. When Red and Michaels were earlier seen singing Triple H’s iconic theme song, he quipped, “Let’s all be glad he didn’t start twerking.” It seems Triple H spoke too soon, as the recent video proved his prediction correct in an amusing twist.
