Here we discuss 3 superstars who could face the HBK if he decides to break his retirement:

#3 Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins is the current Intercontinental champion and a former WWE champion. He is one of the most-talented wrestlers of the WWE locker room and he could be a worthy opponent for the legendary HBK. Rollins is not likely to stay champion till Wrestlemania 35.

Rollins is a prime member of the Shield and they reunited last month when Dean Ambrose returned from an injury. Currently, the Shield is having an interesting feud with Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre. Additionally, Rollins is an exceptional technical wrestler who can provide several top-notch matches in the squared circle.

HBK was considered the best technical wrestler in his era and this match will be a treat for the WWE Universe. Though HBK has not wrestled for eight years, he still looks in a good state to offer a high-quality match against a young opponent like Rollins.

#2 AJ Styles

'The Phenomenal One' AJ Styles

A match between AJ Styles and Shawn Michaels should be called a dream match. Styles is the current WWE champion, and he has been the champion for over 300 days. But if WWE books a match between these two incredible superstars then he is not likely to hold the belt till Wrestlemania next year.

Styles is undoubtedly the best technical wrestler in the WWE today. He made his name all over the world before he was signed by the WWE in 2016. Similar to HBK, Styles has numerous moves inside the squared circle and he has given several top-notch matches in the past.

Moreover, Styles was voted the 'WWE Wrestler of the year' in 2016 by the Rolling Stone. He was also voted the 'Wrestler of the Year' (2016, 2017) for two consecutive years by the Pro Wrestling Illustrated. Therefore, his accomplishments prove his mettle as a pro wrestler and he certainly deserves to face Shawn Michaels.

#1 The Undertaker

The Undertaker

The Undertaker was responsible for the retirement of the Shawn Michaels and he is definitely the best man to face if he returns. HBK faced the Dead Man twice in a row at Wrestlemania and he lost on both occasions. But the Undertaker's streak is not alive anymore and HBK could get lucky on the third time.

The 53-year old is in the twilight of his career and he could retire soon. As a matter of fact, Undertaker teased his retirement in Wrestlemania 33 against Roman Reigns. The Phenom left his jacket, gloves and hat in the ring and the WWE Universe thought he retired after the match. Subsequently, he returned to the ring and wrestled.

However, if the Undertaker decides to retire then HBK is the perfect candidate to retire the legendary superstar. The Dead Man retired HBK eight years ago and it could be a perfect revenge for Shawn Michaels. The storyline will be certainly entertaining because they had a historic rivalry in the past.
