10 Best Ever Shawn Michaels Matches

10. Vs. John Cena (Raw, 2007)

The sequel is never as good as the original, so they say - but who are they, exactly? And have they ever seen Shawn Michaels' match with John Cena from a special London episode of Monday Night Raw in April 2007 - a month after their WrestleMania 23 showdown?

This was better than the first encounter for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the time constraints were far less rigid, meaning the pair could go for pretty much a full hour, interrupted only by the occasional commercial break. Second, the WWE Championship wasn't on the line, and the outcome was therefore much less predictable (HBK only wore the world title once - for a month - during the entirety of his second run).

It was proof both of the fact that Cena was a much better worker than everybody thought, and that Michaels - well into his 40s by now - could still reach the lofty standards he had set himself.
