According to PWInsider.com, WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels has joined the WWE Performance Center and will be working full-time as a coach at the facility.

Michaels will reportedly be taking over the “finishing class” previously run by Terry Taylor. Taylor recently underwent neck surgery, and Michaels will be acting as his replacement while he recovers. Michaels will be relocating from Texas to Florida for his new position.

Additional Performance Center changes will be taking place in the near future, as coaches Sara Amato and Adam Pearce will be moving up to the main WWE roster to become agents/producers.
