WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels recently spoke with Sky Sports Lock Up about the launch of the WWE UK Performance Center. The former-WWE Champion retired in 2010, but has been working as a trainer at the WWE Performance Center since 2016. He recently returned to the ring for a match at the controversial WWE Crown Jewel event. Despite the Saudi show, Michaels seems to believe that his wrestling days are behind him

“I no longer want to do it any more, the only thing better than having your own Wrestlemania moment is watching and helping someone with theirs,” Michaels explained. “We had our time, we thoroughly enjoyed it, and we know the potential of so many of these men and women. We know the joy they can have, and we want to pass it on. You can have all of the bells and whistles but you have to have something emotional,” Michaels added. “I let the young athletes know not to think for one second I wasn’t scared, I wasn’t intimidated, I was Mr Tough. I was the kid who had the dream and sat in the locker room thinking ‘my goodness’ next to Ric Flair and others. We want them to know all of that stuff is okay, to let all of those guards down and do all we can.”
