Shawn Michaels' 10 Best Matches Ever

10. Vs. John Cena (Monday Night Raw, 4/23/07)

In an interview years later, Michaels made the match sound really simple: he and Cena had worked with each other enough by this point to where everything they did came together easily enough. The fact that he and Cena enthralled the fans in London for close to one hour makes his modest assertion all the more perplexing.

Cena celebrated his thirtieth birthday by working with Michaels in what is arguably the greatest match of his own career, perhaps the modern equivalent of Ric Flair and Sting at the inaugural Clash of the Champions in 1988. The difference is this one ended with a clear-cut victor, as Michaels took Cena down with Sweet Chin Music close to the 56 minute mark.

Michaels also credited the London crowd for instilling their boundless enthusiasm into the match, which only energizes the wrestlers therein. Had the match taken place in any US city outside of Chicago or New York, maybe it's not quite the same. So on behalf of everyone who loved the match, thank you chaps.
