WWE's Shawn Michaels talks training Logan Paul for Crown Jewel match
Michaels, who now oversees creative at NXT, went on to speak about the differences between training with Paul and the newcomers to wrestling he works with on a daily basis.
"The difference is... obviously, because he's got a big platform, he comes in at a certain a certain spot, shall we say, that none of our young talent is going to really come in at," Michaels explained. "So you sort of have to put the cart before the horse with somebody like him. You come in, he's in this match at WrestleMania, so you kind of maybe just train him for what he's going to do there at that one match.
"One of the things he and I talked about yesterday was, 'Hey while you're doing this we've got to go back and make sure we teach you some of those foundational fundamental principles that will better link all of this stuff together.'"Because of his popularity they kind of start him at like, five years down the road but he's still at day one or the first six months you know, training-wise," he added.
"So I felt, if we could go back and teach him some of the fundamentals I think that'll really help him kind of understand at a better level how you link all those other pieces that he's learning together.". It will be Paul's third WWE match, following his debut teaming with The MIz at WrestleMania 38 and his match against Miz at SummerSlam.
