#3 Shawn Michaels and/or Triple H
Shawn Michaels has said in media interviews over the last year that he believes the storyline arc of his career was “perfect” and, although he was tempted to return when WWE asked him to face AJ Styles at WrestleMania 33, he would rather stick to his word and stay retired.
In fantasy land, the only storyline that could potentially entice HBK out of retirement – either as a performer or at least as a special guest referee – would have to be a match involving the man that retired him in 2010, The Undertaker.
The two WrestleMania legends have had some of the best matches WWE fans have ever seen and it would be a fitting way for ‘Taker to bow out if Michaels appeared in his final match in some capacity.
Might we see a one-on-one match with Triple H, with HBK as referee, just like at WrestleMania XXVIII? Or how about another twist on the “End of an Era” match, this time with Michaels competing?
