Both Lee and Michaels currently work closely together on WWE’s third brand, NXT, with Heartbreak Kid working as the head booker and mentor to the superstars of the future, including Wes Lee.
During a recent interview on the Getting Over podcast, the current NXT North American Champion opened up about his relationship with Michaels and explained what it is like to work with the WWE Hall of Famer on a regular basis.
Lee recently took the next step in his pro wrestling career as he outlasted Carmelo Hayes, Von Wagner, Oro Mansah and Nathan Frazer in a ladder match at Halloween Havoc to become the new NXT North American Champion.
Hall of Famer compares current WWE Superstar to Shawn Michaels
During his days as a WWE performer, Heartbreak Kid was the showstopper, as his matches were constantly head and shoulders above his colleagues.
One performer who many believe to be 2022’s version of The Heartbreak Kid is Seth Rollins, including former WWE Champion Kurt Angle, who recently compared the two stars on his self-titled podcast, The Kurt Angle Show.
Like Michaels, Rollins has achieved many similar feats as a WWE Superstar, including multiple world titles as well as victories in the Royal Rumble match and the main event of WrestleMania.
