Several former WWE stars have returned to the ring since Triple H replaced Vince McMahon as the company's creative figurehead. Shawn Michaels, Triple H's best friend and the lead decision-maker in NXT, has no plans to join the list of returning stars.
In 2010, Michaels retired from in-ring competition after losing to The Undertaker at WrestleMania 26. Eight years later, The Heartbreak Kid teamed up with Triple H to defeat Kane and The Undertaker in a comeback match at Crown Jewel 2018.
Asked by Sportskeeda Wrestling's Riju Dasgupta whether he wants to wrestle again, Michaels gave a definitive response:
"No, no, I absolutely don't think about that at all anymore. I'm so enamored and enjoy helping these young men and women come through NXT. I've had my time in the sun, absolutely enjoyed every bit of it, but I so thoroughly enjoy being able to help them and allow them to have the same opportunities that I had." [7:03 – 7:27]
