WWE issued the following press release on Wednesday to promote “The Heartbreak Kid: Becoming Shawn Michaels” documentary premiere on Peacock.
“The Heartbreak Kid: Becoming Shawn Michaels,” which premieres on Monday, April 13, is Peacock’s latest original documentary in partnership with WWE and features exclusive behind-the-scenes access with one of the greatest performers of all time and chronicles the career of the WWE Hall of Famer.
This intimate look at Michaels spotlights his incredible ability and the personal struggles that led to one of the most improbable redemption stories in WWE history. Viewers will be taken on a journey through his life while also getting an inside look at Michaels’ role as the head of WWE’s developmental brand, NXT.
The documentary features
“The Heartbreak Kid: Becoming Shawn Michaels,” is executive produced by Paul Levesque, Lee Fitting and Ben Houser, produced by WWE and directed by Matt Braine.

Powell’s POV: Peacock no longer has NXT premium live events, but they will have a documentary on the guy who runs the show (as well as the WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event specials). As someone who has followed Michaels’ career since he started in the AWA, I’m looking forward to this one to kick off WrestleMania week.
