UPDATE: WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels joining the WWE Performance Center coaching staff is reportedly not a done deal just yet. According to a “highly placed source” in developmental, it was up to Michaels as to whether he wanted to take a full-time deal at the WWE Performance Center after having two recent stints as a “guest trainer.” As of now, no deal was officially signed as of today.
Michaels is not scheduled to be at the WWE Performance Center this week. The source said that moving his family from Texas to Florida isn’t something Michaels is taking lightly and needs more time to think about it. Michaels enjoys being in Texas where he’s able to hunt and fish on the acres of land he owns.
Also, Terry Taylor did have neck surgery but is already back at the Performance Center overseeing classes.
ORIGINAL: As Andy reported earlier today here on eWrestlingNews.com, Shawn “HBK” Michaels has signed on with WWE to become a coach at the WWE Performance Center. Michaels will soon be relocating to Orlando, FL and is taking over the “finishing class.” This class was previously run by Terry Taylor but Taylor recently suffered a bad neck injury that will require surgery. With that being said, he is unable to continue coaching the “finishing class” until he fully recovers.
As far as current WWE NXT coaches Sara Del Rey and Adam Pearce are concerned, the two of them will be heading to the main roster to take on producer positions at RAW and SmackDown TV tapings. WWE will be looking to add additional staff and coaches at the Performance Center due to this. The company recently brought in Scotty Too Hotty and Stevie Richards for guest coaching spots. There is no word on if they will become full-time roles. For what it’s worth, Adam Pearce got his full-time job with the company after coming in for a “guest training” spot.
