10 Dream opponents for Shawn Michaels

2. Samoa Joe

The Samoan Submission machine shocked the world when he signed with WWE after a long tenure in the indies and TNA. HBK and Joe have never locked up between the ropes, making this quite the intriguing matchup. Michaels excels against larger opponents, but that's because he enjoys a speed and agility edge. Against Joe, HBK would find a foe who can match his quickness.

Chances of facing HBK in a dream match: Fair. Michaels has mentioned Joe by name as one of his current roster favorites, but the WWE seems to think of Joe as a midcard talent. The company may not believe there's enough interest in a Joe vs. HBK dream match to make it happen.
