Former champion shares best advice WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels handed out

For many wrestling fans all over the world, WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels is the greatest of all time. Currently the Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative and overseeing the creative aspects of the NXT brand, Mr. WrestleMania has no intention of stepping into the squared circle again.

Former NXT Women's Champion Roxanne Perez recently shared some of the best advice HBK handed out to her.

Speaking to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Roxanne Perez revealed that age plays a major factor in one's career, according to The Heartbreak Kid. The WWE Hall of Famer advised the young star to live in the moment and put in consistent effort, and the pieces will fall into place:

"I think, being in the WWE, I feel like you have to evolve a lot, you have to constantly evolve. Fans want to keep being invested in you. Sometimes I struggle with is, all right, I got to keep adding layers, what can I do next, what can I do differently, and I remember Shawn told me like, 'Look, you're fine. You don't need to change anything right now. You're young. The cool thing about you being young in the business is that the story writes itself for you. So just keep living in the moment, and keep doing what you're doing, work hard, and things are just going to fall into place.' That was, like, really good advice to hear from him, especially from the best in the world, who has experienced everything."
