"I think it's cool to see the women's evolution and how far we've come and I owe a lot of it to Shawn Michaels as he's done an amazing job, like, putting the spotlight on the women because he knows how much potential we have," said Perez. "It's amazing [working with Michaels]. I feel like I wouldn't want to work with anybody else than 'Mr. WrestleMania.' He knows absolutely everything about this business, and to be under his learning tree and ... what I really love about Shawn is that he is very brutally honest. He's not gonna lie to you and I appreciate that."

Williams also praised the "NXT" boss, stating that Michaels cares about the show and the superstars dearly.
"Obviously, he's one of the greatest of all time to do this, and, you know, I actually texted him the other day, just saying, like, 'Man, I appreciate you for [everything].' He does a lot for us, you can tell that he truly cares about, first and foremost the product, but us as individuals as well," Williams said. "I'm extremely appreciative of Shawn Michaels and everything he's done for 'NXT,' myself, my co-workers, and all of our careers."
The "NXT" star reiterated Perez's opinion of Michaels, highlighting how "The Heartbreak Kid" is honest with him, which he feels is necessary to grow as a wrestler.
