Shawn Spears just won the NXT North American Championship, but it looks like he isn’t in the mood for celebrations—even when it comes to Shawn Michaels.
After defeating Tony D’Angelo in the March 4 main event, WWE cameras caught Spears heading backstage, where he was greeted by Michaels himself. The WWE Hall of Famer extended his hand for a congratulatory handshake—but instead of shaking it, Spears coldly stared at him, turned, and walked away.
The moment immediately got fans talking. Was this disrespect toward one of WWE’s biggest legends, or was Spears sending a message about where he stands in NXT? His win over D’Angelo already shocked the NXT Arena, but now he’s making it clear—he’s not here to make friends.
This attitude shift raises some big questions about what Spears’ reign will look like. Is he about to take a different approach to his championship run, and what does this mean for his standing with Shawn Michaels and NXT management?
Was Spears making a statement, or was this just a heat-of-the-moment reaction? Drop your thoughts below!
