Shawn Michaels Michaels was raised a Catholic, but is now a devout, vocal born-again Christian.Shawn Michaels, whose real name is Michael Shawn Hickenbottom, was born in Chandler, Arizona and grew up in a roving military family, but mostly in San Antonio, Texas. Michaels was raised Catholic and attended Catholic schools. During most of his wrestling career, Michaels was not particularly religious. But after he met his wife, Michaels became the devout born-again Christian we know today. He completely credits “the power of a praying wife” to his conversion. He took it all the way, even becoming a Bible teacher at the Cornerstone Church in San Antonio. Now, Michaels’ religion has become part of his celebrity persona. He has added praying to his theatrical wrestling introduction routine–complete with pyrotechnics and crazy outfits. And during his pre-match interviews, he says things like: My lord and savior Jesus Christ, I thank you, my king, for saving me. Furthermore, Shawn Michaels merchandise comes with Bible verses and other religious messages.
