Fantasy Booking: Shawn Michaels vs AJ Styles at WrestleMania 35

Shawn Michaels Enters The Royal Rumble Match

The Heart Break Kid Is In The Match

Every Royal Rumble match has its fair share of surprise entrants. It is part of the fun of the match to see who will show up. However, unless it is an active superstar returning from injury, surprise entrants do not win the Royal Rumble match. But what if Shawn Michaels entered the Rumble match? Would that still be the case?

Sometime in the late teens, I would have HBK enter the 2019 men's Royal Rumble match.

If I were booking, there would be a lull in the action, as everyone in the ring knuckled down for the long haul. When the buzzer hits, Shawn Michaels' iconic theme song blares across the arena. I would wait for a few minutes, whilst the crowd works itself into a frenzy, and commentary freaks out.

Then, I would have Michaels slowly walk onto the stage in his gear, before walking slowly down the ramp and entering the ring. The crowd roars with approval as commentary confirms that HBK is in the match.
