An AEW star recently heaped praise on WWE legend Shawn Michaels.

Several stars in the history of WWE have resorted to pulling off spectacular outfits in an effort to stand out. While many were quite successful in their attempts, Shawn Michaels deserves a special mention in the category. The Heartbreak Kid was renowned for pulling off a confident swagged that went perfectly with his ring-wear and personality.

In the modern day, Seth Rollins has seemingly taken over the mantle by dressing artfully for his WWE appearances. However, AEW star Matt Hardy believes Shawn Michaels still outclasses the Visionary in that regard, according to his response to a fan question on the latest episode of The Extreme life of Matt Hardy podcast.

"Shawn Michaels is probably my favorite wrestler of all time, if I had to guess. If I had to select one wrestler I would go Shawn..." [22:17 onwards]

Matt Hardy also spoke about a potential match involving former WWE Champion in AEW

Apart from speaking about his admiration for Shawn Michaels, the Broken One also teased a massive match in Tony Khan's Promotion.

Matt and Jeff Hardy had previously planned for a tag team run in AEW once the Charismatic Enigma joined the brand. However, his legal complications due to the DUI incident have him out of action indefinitely. If Jeff returns soon, Matt already has a big match planned, according to his comments on The Extreme life of Matt Hardy.

"If we are doing a modern day TLC match, I would put the Young Bucks, one of their greatest rivals ever The Lucha Bros, and the Hardys in it, and we would have a triple threat ladder match. It's something that might realistically happen actually, going forward." [44:54 - 45:09]

As of now, it remains to be seen if the match will ever happen in the future.
