NXT held Deadline on Saturday evening.
Shawn Michaels opened Deadline and came to the ring. He welcomed us to the show and said it was WWE's last live premium event of the year.
CM Punk's music then hit and he came to the ring wearing a Calgary Hitmen t-shirt. HBK brought it up and Punk said, “Hey, you and Bret Hart made up and Triple H and I made up.” They posed for a selfie. Punk raised the question of where he could sign, be it Raw, SmackDown or NXT. He got the crowd chanting his name while hugging HBK and ended the segment.
