[Watch] Shawn Michaels seen ‘twerking’ at WWE NXT Battleground 2024

The Showstopper was seen “twerking” with Sexyy Red

In a surprising and entertaining turn of events, WWE NXT Battleground featured a moment that has taken the internet by storm. Rapper Sexyy Red, who hosted the event on June 9, brought her unique flair and energy, culminating in a memorable dance session with none other than WWE legend Shawn Michaels.

Sexyy Red took on the hosting duties at NXT Battleground with enthusiasm, performing typical host tasks like introducing the show and celebrating with the night’s winners. She congratulated Kelani Jordan on her championship win and joined WWE NXT champion Trick Williams in celebrating his successful title defense in the main event.

However, the most unexpected and talked-about moment came when the 58-year-old Shawn Michaels joined Sexyy Red for a twerking session. Known for his iconic moves in the ring, Michaels showed he could still surprise fans with his dance moves. Backstage, the fun continued with NXT head honcho Michaels, TNA Knockouts champion Jordynne Grace, and Sexyy Red, where they shared some light-hearted moments and danced together.

Michaels, clearly enjoying the moment, leaned into the chef meme, dancing with the ladies in a hat purchased by Grace, and humorously graded Battleground a five-star… meal. This playful side of Michaels, coupled with Sexyy Red’s vibrant personality, created an unforgettable segment that WWE fans are sure to remember.

Sexyy Red was seen twerking with Lola Vice

Sexyy Red had a few other moments that captured the online attention WWE likely hoped for when partnering with her. During the main show, she bumped into Lola Vice after Vice’s victory over Shayna Baszler in an NXT Underground match. Known for their bold personalities, both women engaged in tandem twerk, which Red attempted to turn into a trio by involving interviewer Sarah Schreiber.

Schreiber gamely joined in, showcasing her off-the-ring skills, and even retweeted the moment, despite a minor hashtag error. Given the late-night post after a long day of work, her single typo was easily forgivable.

I may have twerked tonight at #nxtbattlegroumd but I also got an A in my accounting class in my masters program all in the same night. See women, we can do it all! 🤓🍑 pic.twitter.com/Ml2HKWW3kG
