It's shocking to know that The Rock and Shawn Michaels never had a one-on-one match. After all, both of them were two of the most charismatic superstars in the history of WWE. Fans had always been clamouring for a match between the duo but it never happened.

There was a reason for it, The Rock was the one who actually refused to work with Michaels in some of the WrestleMania events due to past incidents. As we know in the 1990s, Michaels had received a lot of popularity, due to which he became a backstage politician.

He tried to obstruct The Rock's push into the main event scene, just to keep himself on the top spot of the company. He also disrespected The Rock's grandmother backstage when she came for a visit. This really made The Rock angry and he holds his grudges for years.

Until The Rock's popularity had risen in WWE, and then he went on to become one of the greatest of all time. The Rock still avoids speaking about these incidents in interviews. But surely there is some heat between both the stars.
