Shawn Michaels and WWE have paid a touching tribute to 19-year-old NXT UK super-fan Honey Williams.
When NXT UK launched back in 2018, there was no way WWE could have imagined the impact that the brand would have on the life of Honey Williams.
Since the launch of WWE’s UK brand, the 19-year-old has attended every single taping at BT Sport Studios in London. That is despite having to make a monster nine-hour bus journey EACH WAY!
While she may have faced her own personal struggles along the way, nothing can ever stand between Williams and her favourite wrestling show.
To say thank you for Honey’s incredible dedication and support, WWE organised a special little something to show their appreciation. Honey was presented with her own signed NXT UK Women’s Championship belt, before being joined at ringside and applauded by the entire roster.
But there was more…
Honey also received a special video message from her idol, the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels.
“I just wanted to say on behalf of myself, WWE and of course the NXT UK family, darlin’ thank you so much for your love and care and support over the years. All of our best, and we love you sweetheart, thank you so much.”
