5 returns we must see at Royal Rumble 2017

#1 Shawn Michaels

20 years after his legendary match, will Michaels return to The Alamodome again?

Most wrestlers do not keep in shape after retirement. However, Shawn Michaels looked like a million dollars at Wrestlemania 32, when he joined Stone Cold Steve Austin and Mick Foley to beat up The League of Nations. Ever since then, fans have wanted him to return to the ring.

What makes us believe that the Royal Rumble may be the stage for his return is the fact that Shawn Michaels beat Sycho Sid in 1997 at the Alamodome to become the WWE champion before more than sixty thousand fans. Moreover, San Antonio, Texas is where Michaels is from!

AJ Styles has been spreading rumours about a clash between him and Michaels, arguably the two best in-ring workers of all time. While that match is a distant possibility, the two men can face off in the ring giving fans a ‘mark out’ moment.

Shawn Michaels has also won two Royal Rumble matches in the past. Will Royal Rumble 2017 be his third? Only time will tell!
