10 WWE Legends Who Came Back And Ruined Everything

When Shawn Michaels retired in 2010, it was the perfect ending for one of wrestling's all-time greats.

He was taken behind the woodshed by WWE's other biggest star; after decades of the Heartbreak Kid and The Undertaker grappling across the world, they had one last match before HBK called it quits.

If you thought their Hell In A Cell match in 1997 couldn't be topped, you were...right for more than a decade. Their bout at WrestleMania 25 is one of the best ever, yet people still debate whether or not their rematch at XVI, where Michaels finally retired, is the better of their 'Mania showdowns.

Whichever you choose, Shawn was in his prime when he left. He promised never to wrestle again out of respect for the Deadman, unlike Ric Flair who HBK beat in his "last" match a few years earlier.

Then WWE signed a deal to host pay-per-views in Saudi Arabia and suddenly there was big money to bring anyone and everyone to the Middle East.

At Greatest Royal Rumble in 2018, John Cena, Triple H, Mark Henry, Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho, and 'Taker himself all showed up to pick up the blood money cheque.

That cash money prize was too much for Michaels to ignore, so he was back teaming with Triple H for one last D-Generation X ride against the Brothers Of Destruction.

The match was a big disappointment, but the worst part was the tarnishing of WWE's best retirement.
