Michin credits Shelton Benjamin for helping her through dark times, opens up about childhood and WWE career

WWE star Michin told her life story on What’s Your Story? with Stephanie McMahon, opening up about her childhood, her parents’ divorce and how sports like wrestling and volleyball served as crucial outlets during difficult years. She detailed a nearly two-decade friendship with Shelton Benjamin, calling him “family,” and praised his mentorship—teaching match psychology, pushing her to be TV-ready and helping her navigate one of the toughest chapters of her life.

Michin traced her professional path from the 2018 Mae Young Classic and an NXT signing to a release a few years later and a return in 2022 alongside AJ Styles and The Good Brothers in their feud with The Judgment Day. She says Shelton’s guidance continues to influence her approach and that she now passes that advice on to younger talent, with the relationship remaining a cornerstone of her personal and professional life.
