The October 1 episode of NXT marked a significant milestone as it debuted on the CW Network, offering fans a night filled with memorable moments. Following that success, NXT is looking to create a similar impact with the October 8 episode. This week, Triple H and Shawn Michaels have revived a classic DX skit for NXT, adding excitement to the upcoming show.
The October 8 will be held at The Factory in Chesterfield, Missouri, which is part of the St. Louis market. The episode promises to be packed with action, includingRandy Ortons return to the ring, as well as several championship matches and a special appearance byrapper Sexyy Red.
NXT took to Twitter and uploaded a video featuring Shawn Michaels and Triple H as they parodied their classic DX State of the Union speech. In the video, Shawn Michaels opened by addressing the audience and announcing that the CW is excited to present NXT on Tuesday nights as it starts a new chapter. He emphasized the importance of connecting with their key demographic, noting that they can do so freely since they set the rules. He then laid out the standards and practices they plan to follow.
Triple H added that from 8 to 10 p.m., they would primarily use trendy words and phrases like gyat, flex, slay, and bussin, while also incorporating terms like suss, drip, low-key, on god, and ratio.
The banter continued with Michaels humorously critiquing the content, mentioning that theyd include more trendy video references and rap mentions. He playfully pointed out that some people might think cooking is a favored pastime in the Oval Office, only to clarify that he is vegan.
Triple H chimed in, jokingly reminding Michaels that he had eaten. They concluded the segment by encouraging fans to tune in to NXT on Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. on the CW for all the action.
For the record, this weeks episode of NXT will go as planned but the Superstars will have to remain in Missouri due to Hurricane Milton, as airports in Florida are shut down. Therefore, Shawn Michaels and Triple Hs parody video might have been a good way to ease the minds of many during this pressing time.
