2 WWE legends who are open to returning and 3 who are staying retired

#1 Staying retired: Shawn Michaels

In a business where the majority of ‘retired’ performers often return to compete again, Shawn Michaels repeatedly claimed following his 2010 retirement that he was happy with the storyline arc of his career and he never wanted to wrestle again.

However, his mindset changed in 2018 when he agreed to team with fellow D-Generation X member Triple H against Kane & The Undertaker in the main event of the lucrative WWE Crown Jewel show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Although the 53-year-old hardly disgraced himself in his comeback match, he told the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast in 2019 that he does not plan on making another in-ring return.

"No. I will leave it to the younger generation, they're doing a fantastic job. I'm good with what has been done and I'm all set."

Michaels now works as a producer in NXT and as a trainer at the WWE Performance Center.
