12 Wrestlers Who Retired In 2018

11. Shawn Michaels

Is Shawn Michaels in the same boat? Well, sort of, though the veteran has claimed he's uninterested in an in-ring return after working Crown Jewel. That was something ol' HBK said for around eight years however, and he staunchly denied he'd ever follow up on that 'Mania XXVI classic against The Undertaker.

He has, and it was in a creaky tag match in Saudi Arabia. D-Generation vs. The Brothers Of Destruction, as marketable a main event as it was, isn't what most of Shawn's hardcore fans dreamed of when they fantasised about a comeback.

Sadly for them, Michaels appears satisfied with one more go-around alongside Triple H and scoffed at claims he could work a mega-match under the pressure-filled spotlight of WrestleMania. This, believe it or not, could be it the second time round.
