9 Wrestlers Whose Last WWE Match Came At WrestleMania
3. Shawn Michaels - WrestleMania XXVI
Shawn Michaels is a unique figure in the history of professional wrestling, a tag team superstar who went on to become the face of a new generation before suffering a career-ending injury, only to return reinvigorated and perhaps surpass the first half of his career upon his return.
Both halves of HBK's career ended at WrestleMania. The first act ended at WrestleMania XIV when he dropped the WWF Championship to Stone Cold Steve Austin, wrestling through extreme pain to put on an absolute classic with the Texas Rattlesnake. His next WrestleMania appearance would come five years later, and you'd be hard-pushed to find a more consistent performer on the biggest stage than Shawn Michaels.
His career officially ended in a far more predictable manner, in a Career vs. Streak match at WrestleMania XXVI against The Undertaker. Since that epic battle Michaels has given little in the way of concrete evidence that a return to the ring is likely, despite the clamouring for a Daniel Bryan match. To date, WrestleMania XXVI represents Shawn Michaels' last WWE match.
