A new documentary on Shawn Michaels, focusing on his personal struggles, premieres on Peacock on demand on Apr. 13

Peacock and WWE tout that the documentary will give viewers an insider look at his role as head of NXT while addressing his personal struggles during his in-ring career.

The documentary includes comments from those who knew him well during his prime, including Bret Hart, Paul Levesque, Undertaker, and Kevin Nash.
