5 WWE Characters We Never Saw

4. 'God'

Shawn Michaels God
WWE Network

The Wikipedia entry for the pinnacle of this character's time in WWE reads as follows: 'Another rivalry heading into the show was Vince McMahon and Shane McMahon versus Shawn Michaels and God'. Was this Vince McMahon's most megalomaniacal moment? His feud with HBK through the first half of 2006 was a little on the nose for some, but feuding with God? Was it the high point or the low point?

Megalomaniacal or not, Shawn Michaels did indeed tag with God to take on the McMahons at Backlash 2006. The match itself came about when Vince blamed his defeat to Shawn at WrestleMania 22 on an 'Act of God'. What happened next was either hilarious or immensely distasteful.

'God' obviously didn't show up, but nonetheless Vince insisted that the referee check 'God' for hidden objects. 'God' was portrayed by a spotlight and nothing else, and whilst the insinuation was on the spiritual side of the deity, the record books still say that God took part in a WWE pay-per-view match.

We just didn't get to see him/her/it.
