Shawn Michaels, the legendary WWE superstar known as the “Heartbreak Kid,” recently revealed his top pick for a hypothetical return match at WrestleMania. During a discussion on the “Gorilla Position” podcast, Michaels expressed that if he could step back into the ring for one more match, his opponent of choice would be none other than AJ Styles.
Michaels, whose career is celebrated for its dramatic flair and exceptional ring capabilities, is often hailed as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. Known for his charisma and his ability to deliver show-stopping performances, Michaels has had his share of iconic WrestleMania moments, making him a perennial favorite among fans who yearn to see him compete once more.
Despite having officially retired from singles competition in 2010, Michaels returned for a tag-team match in 2018, which did not meet fan expectations. However, his fascination with the idea of one more WrestleMania match remains a topic of interest among wrestling enthusiasts. In the podcast, Michaels praised AJ Styles, noting the similarities in their wrestling styles and the potential for a blockbuster match.
“I always look at new talents and think about the cool stuff I could do with them in the ring. With AJ, there’s a special connection. Our styles are similar, and it’s a match I believe fans would love to see,” Michaels said. He emphasized that a bout with Styles would align well with his own wrestling philosophy and would likely captivate the WrestleMania audience.
Despite the excitement such a match would generate among fans, Michaels acknowledged the reality: a showdown between him and AJ Styles at WrestleMania is unlikely to happen. Still, just the mention of such a possibility stirs the imagination of WWE fans around the world, reminiscing about the “what ifs” that define the lore of professional wrestling.
As WrestleMania continues to be the grand stage for monumental wrestling moments, the idea of Michaels versus Styles remains a dream match that fans can only envision in their wildest fantasies.
