7 Interesting WWE Matches For A Shawn Michaels Comeback

Daniel Bryan's career began with Shawn Michaels. As a trainee at the Heartbreak Kid's wrestling school in Texas, the future leader of the Yes Movement learned the basics and was able to use Shawn's WWE connections to earn a developmental contract. From there, Bryan became a world-travelled performer, and when he returned to WWE in earnest in 2010, he had earned a reputation as one of the best wrestlers on the planet.

While HBK's level of influence on Bryan's wrestling upbringing has been exaggerated (as is customary of WWE history), their pasts are still very much intertwined. And now, there's a poignant parallel between the two, as just like Shawn, Bryan had his career torn from him by an injury, but now, he's back as an in-ring competitor.

Of all the possible matches that could come out of a third Shawn Michaels run, a one against former student Daniel Bryan honestly stands the best chance of not just being good, but great. Unlike AJ Styles, who is starting to show some signs of his age, Bryan seems willing and able to still go at the level he did in his original run. With that ability to carry someone of HBK's age, the in-ring calibre of this match could very well match the storytelling potential.
