7 Interesting WWE Matches For A Shawn Michaels Comeback

Rey Mysterio and Shawn Michaels have a lot in common. In the '90s, they were undersized in their industry, but they made up for it with innovative offence. Later in life, injuries would take their toll on both men, but while Shawn took a four year hiatus to deal with his back issues, Rey would let his knee problems mount, resulting in a lackluster run during most of the 2010s. However, Mysterio has seemingly taken a visit to the fountain of youth, as his 2018 has been one of his most dazzling in years in terms of in-ring performances.

That's good timing as well, since WWE are now bringing him back as the special pre-order bonus for 2K19. With his return to WWE imminent, fans are already speculating about the opponents he could face. Now, with HBK likely coming up, a nostalgia-tastic dream match seems like something WWE would strongly consider.

For fans who watched WWE in the 2000s, Mysterio and Michaels are synonymous with that time, and while both were stunning audiences, neither really interacted, as most of the time, they were on separate brands. Aside from the odd TV match here or there, the two never had a proper program. Given WWE's penchant for capitalizing on nostalgia and old-timers, a PPV encounter between these two would seem, pardon my French, best for business.
