WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels recently took to social media to share unseen footage of a SmackDown star breaking down in tears after she was picked in tonight's draft. The star being referred to is Blair Davenport.
After her stint with All Elite Wrestling, Davenport signed a contract with World Wrestling Entertainment in 2021 and started performing for the company's developmental brand, NXT. On the latest edition of Monday Night RAW, the 28-year-old star was picked by SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis in the last round of the 2024 Draft.
Shawn Michaels recently took to X/Twitter to share footage of a different angle of Blair Davenport's reaction after she was called up to the main roster. The Hall of Famer sent a warning to the SmackDown roster, mentioning they should be ready for a fight after the upstart's arrival.
"The surface has barely been scratched as far as what [Blair Davenport] is capable of between those ropes. A warning to the #SmackDown roster... be ready for a FIGHT! #WWEDraft," Michaels wrote.
Check out his tweet below.
Although Blair Davenport has yet to win a title in World Wrestling Entertainment, she is still a major addition to the women's roster on Friday Night SmackDown.
