It’s That Time Again. Rumor: Is WWE Looking At A Shawn Michaels Vs. Undertaker Match?

Could it be? Earlier this week on Monday Night Raw, Shawn Michaels appeared to discuss the upcoming Undertaker vs. Triple H match at Super Show-Down. Undertaker interrupted Michaels’ appearance and the two got into a discussion of Undertaker retiring Michaels at WrestleMania 26. Michaels talked about staying retired out of respect for Undertaker, which sounded like laying the grounds for a potential one last match. It turns out there might be something to that.

Listen for yourself.

The Undertaker sends a chilling warning to Triple H and Shawn Michaels: Raw, Sept. 3, 2018

The concept of Michaels wrestling one more match, particularly against the Undertaker, was discussed today by Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio. Meltzer didn’t say that the match would be taking place, but he did say that the segment seemed to build towards Undertaker vs. Michaels rather than Undertaker vs. Triple H. If the match were to happen, it would be either at WrestleMania or one of the next Saudi Arabia shows, which are the two biggest money events in WWE.

Here are Meltzer’s comments with transcription courtesy of Ringsidenews.com:

“Here’s the thing, at the end the idea in theory would be pushing the Undertaker Triple H match but when it was over that wasn’t the match that you were pushing. Nobody was coming out of this segment going ‘I can’t wait to see Undertaker and Triple H.’ They were saying ‘I can’t wait to see Undertaker and Shawn Michaels. Which means if anything they weakened Australia.”

“Shawn’s there anyway and it doesn’t matter but they still made it so the big match isn’t Undertaker vs Triple H. Undertaker vs Triple H is a step to the big match which is Undertaker and Shawn. Perhaps that could be at Mania?”

“But the one they pushed him to wrestle in was the Saudi Arabia show because that’s the real money show but it’s one of those two. It’s awfully early to do an angle for next year’s Mania but it’s not impossibly early it’s been done before.”

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that has been teased for years now and I still can’t see it happening. At the end of the day, Michaels is now 53 years old and it’s hard to imagine him coming out of retirement one more time. I have no idea if Michaels is in need of the money that would come from a match, though I can’t imagine he would mind having it. If the match does happen though, the expectations on it would be through the roof.
