10 Dream opponents for Shawn Michaels

5. CM Punk

Current MMA novice and former WWE world champion Punk is not signed with the WWE at present, but that could quickly change as rumors abound that if Punk doesn't win his second fight for the UFC he will return to wrestling.

Shawn Michaels and Punk have many similarities; Both are undersized for the heavyweight division but still managed to become world champion. Both are triple crown champions in the WWE, and both utilize striking and technique with equal aplomb.

Chances of facing HBK in a dream match: Poor, but mainly because he isn't signed with WWE. Dangling a dream match before Punk's nose with HBK might be just the incentive he needs to return.
