Can you believe your eyes?
WWE Hall of Famer, Shawn Michaels recently revealed that he might be willing to come out of retirement for one more match and while the situation seems like a long shot from every possible aspect, it's still a very interesting thing to speculate about. In fact, with people like Undertaker coming out of retirement for another match, it's not exactly out of the question.

With that being said and Shawn Michaels letting his intentions be known that he might be willing to come out of retirement for one more match, one has to who will be given the honour of going up against HBK. Furthermore, will WWE use the match as a way to catapult a young star to the top or a chance to have the dream matches that no one thought possible?
Here are five choices for who should be Shawn Michaels opponent if he does come out or retirement.
#5 Baron Corbin
Its no secret that The WWE Universe completely despises Baron Corbin, but what if the company was able to capitalize on that? For example, what if WWE were to book a dream match scenario between Shawn Michaels and Baron Corbin and have it end in Corbin completely victimizing The Hall of Famer.
Not only would that be a great way to finally give Corbin the heat he needs in order to ascend to the title picture, it would also give a Superstar that has worked very hard, the main event moment that he deserves. In the end, this pick might not be everyone's favourite, but it would no doubt be a shocking moment for WWE if Corbin completely destroyed Michaels in a match.
#4 Sami Zayn
Another heel that would greatly benefit from a one on one match with Shawn Michaels is Sami Zayn, who is also looking for an opportunity to put him back in the main event scene. This match would also feature the aggressive and dastardly move set of Zayn and the unmitigated star power of Michaels, which would be a really cool dynamic to see in the ring.
There's also both men's ability on the microphone, which is another big thing that turns this from an average program to a WrestleMania worthy type match. Whether Zayn would be WWE first choice to face Michaels or not remains to be seen, but its hard to argue with the opportunities that are associated with having the match.
Not only would this be one of only a handful of scenarios that WWE could use to pass the torch to the next generation, it also would offer a storyline that would be entertaining to watch and lead into one of their most anticipated matches of all time!
#3 The Undertaker
While this match might not be much from an in-ring perspective, especially since both superstars are semi-retired and have nagging injuries to deal with, this would probably make the company the most money from a storyline standpoint alone. In fact, if WWE were willing to do it at WrestleMania, it could serve as Michaels last chance to usurp Taker.
With that being said and the unlikeliness that WWE would waste Michaels last match on a rematch from years ago, it seems to be next to impossible for this match to happen. In the end, however, it would give the company a chance to relieve their feud in The Attitude Era and their retirement feud nearly a decade ago.
#4 Daniel Bryan
WWE has already hinted at this match becoming a possibility multiple times over the past couple of years, but it never came to fruition. Fortunately for Daniel Bryan and The WWE Universe, however, Michaels admitted that he would be open to having one more match swings the door right back open for mentor and student to go one on one.
While the match probably wouldn't be the high paced thriller it could have been a couple of years ago, the name recognition alone is enough to make this a must-see for fans. In fact, with Daniel Bryan wrestling at a much slower pace after coming out of retirement earlier this year, they might just be a perfect match for each other.
Think about it! A back and forth romp of chain wrestling, one-upmanship and a barrage of finishers that are bound to have fans holding their breath every time one of the two men go for the cover. In the end, it would have to be Bryan that would come out of the bout with the win, which may make things a little too predictable, but ti would still be fun to see!
#1 Seth Rollins
Was there any doubt in anyone's mind that Seth Rollins would take the number one spot on this list? While some might have wanted Daniel Bryan to be the one to take on Michaels, especially with the storyline potential there, Seth Rollins would be able to absolutely tear down the house in a match with Michaels.
He would also be one of the few Superstars on the main roster today capable of hanging with Michaels on the microphone, which would be a crucial aspect of helping tell the story of the match. In the end, the injuries and the limited mobility of Michaels will hurt how good the match could have been, but it would still be a blockbuster worth of WrestleMania!
