10 Dream Matches Wrestlers Refuse To Work
3. Shawn Michaels Vs Daniel Bryan
Though certain not to happen due to yet another case of Michaels probably not having believing he's got the performance in him, this legends battle once seemed perfectly pitched thanks to 'HBK' often being cast as Daniel Bryan's trainer in his formative years.
Even more than the mooted AJ Styles clash, a match between two of the all-time in-ring greats would likely play well with the apprentice-becomes-the-master structure, particular if one was willing to lean into playing heel. Bryan proved exceptional as a reinvented version of himself in late 2018/early 2019, as was Michaels when he elected to side with best friend Triple H over the crowd favourite 'Yes Man' during that 2014 programme.
Bryan Danielson's rumoured move to AEW is just one more way this has probably been scuppered. Michaels is as embedded in WWE as he's ever been, which stands in stark contrast to his former trainee. The artist formerly known as Daniel Bryan has seemingly never been less ensconced.
