#1 Shawn Michaels works backstage at WWE

One of the greatest entertainers in WWE, Shawn Michaels, currently works as a writer and producer for NXT and NXT UK. The Heartbreak Kid was initially brought in as a coach, but his role eventually expanded.

Working with upcoming talent, Shawn Michaels has a hands-on approach to their development. He has overseen the growth of current superstars, including former SmackDown Women's Champion Bianca Belair and The Street Profits.

Triple H spoke about Shawn Michaels and his work at the Performance Center:

"As he started coming around the PC, it’s hard to come around there and not start to become invigorated by it. It’s like the fountain of youth. The excitement is contagious, and I could see him start to get that bug and his gears started to spin. I let him build at his own pace and now Shawn is probably one of the most engaged people in the product, talent and brand." Triple H said. (h/t Wrestling News)

Tomorrow's superstars are in competent hands, learning from Mr. WrestleMania. Shawn Michaels will likely be in a mentoring position for many years to come, teaching and lending a hand. It is the perfect fit to give back to the business after so many years of performing.
