Shawn Michaels Isn’t Coming Out of Retirement, But Here’s Who He’d Want to Wrestle if He Did

Shawn Michaels has said time and time again that he’s not planning on returning to the ring for a match against anybody, even though he’s acknowledged that he could have great matches with guys like AJ Styles and Seth Rollins if he ever did come back. However, in a recent interview with ESPN, the Heartbreak Kid said that he wouldn’t wrestle AJ or Rollins if he chose to come back for one more match.

In the interview, Michaels said that it’s all about telling a compelling story in the ring, and he feels like he could tell the best story with former NXT Champion Samoa Joe, who is probably going to make his main roster debut at the Royal Rumble.

“I look at Samoa Joe and I’ve told him a number of times that I see his stuff at NXT and think to myself, ‘Man, I could have a great deal of fun with you.’ He’s a guy I have sort of enjoyed, and one of those sleeper guys that no one talks about. We have contrasting styles. I get that everybody wants to see me and AJ or Seth or Dolph [Ziggler]. From my standpoint, I think really telling a great story out there [is most important]. I could do it with a guy like Samoa Joe. His stuff looks really good, and sometimes he just looks like he’s beating the tar out of somebody.”

After reading the Michaels interview, Joe responded on Twitter.
