The Top 7 WWE Legends Sting Never Faced in a WWE Ring

#6 Shawn Michaels

Shawn Michaels vs. Sting could have been quite the showdown.

WWE tends to reference Shawn Michaels as its all time greatest performer. It’s a debatable point, particularly as it relates to box office results. Nonetheless, he was a major star, more than capable of delivering great matches against a diverse array of opponents, and always game to excel on the microphone.

Particularly at the peak of his arrogant heel persona, Michaels could have offered a similar rival for Sting to overcome as Hollywood Hogan, with the added bonus that his athleticism, and more generally his ring chops could have helped the match deliver in the ring.

We got the briefest taste of what might have been in Michaels delivering a super kick to Sting during his match with Triple H at WrestleMania 31, but that’s hardly the same as a full-fledged featured match that might have had similar appeal and execution to HBK’s main event bout with Hogan at SummerSlam 2005.
