At Crown Jewel, Shawn Michaels came out of an 8-year retirement, teaming with Triple H to defeat the Brothers of Destruction.

Despite HBK saying this would be a one-off return, the rumour going around is that Shawn is to have a handful of matches in 2019.

Perhaps one will be the Royal Rumble, a match that Michaels has won twice already, in 1995 and in 1996.

Even if he didn't win the 2019 match, his return (which would be made perfect at #30) would definitely be an OMG moment for the year, and could easily lead into Shawn's first WrestleMania match since 2010.

Perhaps there could even be a showdown against the Undertaker, with one or both men eliminating the other, to build to an epic third match at the Showcase of the Immortals.

We all know the Deadman is slowing down, perhaps HBK will be the man to end the career of the same man who ended his.
