During a recent episode of his X-Pac 12360 Podcast, Sean Waltman spoke about friend and WWE Hall Of Famer Shawn Michaels finally coming out of retirement to return to the squared circle for WWE.

Waltman spoke about D-Generation X heading to Saudi Arabia for tag-team action at the upcoming WWE Crown Jewel pay-per-view, where they will take on The Undertaker and Kane.

“Hey [DX is] going to Saudi Arabia,” Waltman said. “[Shawn Michaels] was sticking to his guns on this whole retirement thing and I would have liked to see him do it sooner.”

Waltman continued, “[The fans] wanted him to come back for a long time and I respect the hell out of his reasons for not doing it, and I respect the hell out of his reasons for doing it now, making money!”

Here are additional highlights from the podcast:

Sean ‘X-Pac’ Waltman’s Thoughts on UFC 229
I am trying to look at the situation from everyone’s point of view, not just who your favorite is…I gotta be honest, it’s understandable actually. In no way shape or form justified, but when you keep poking the bear and you talk s***…. All the stuff that led up to this, all the antics and all that, I am just saying I understand how all of this happened…

Joey Janela Shares Advice he Received from William Regal at PWG
His {William Regal} advice both times was pretty similar (BOLA 2017/BOLA 2018) It was, stop doing the crazy shit, stop falling on your head. He goes, “Would I change anything you did out there? No, because the fans love you. But stop doing this. You have different routes to get over. Why do you continue to do this craziness.” Which I didn’t think my match this year with David Starr was as crazy as my match with Sammy Guevara but there were moments in there that were pretty wild. But that’s his advice to me every time… I one hundred percent agree with him. With the knowledge of concussions and how they can fuck up somebody’s life. I have gotten this far thirteen years without a serious injury so I feel that I’m at a point where I know how to protect myself pretty well. If I showed you a ten-minute compilation of all the stunts I did you’d think I’d be six feet under already.
