It’s worth noting that Shawn Michaels announced his retirement after his second legendary match with The Undertaker at WrestleMania 26, where he had put on a spectacular performance that cemented his status as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. Since then, many WWE stars have reportedly tried to convince Michaels to come out of retirement and perform again.
While speaking with Alex McCarthy, Shawn Michaels confirmed that the likes of Kevin Owens and others tried to get him out of retirement.
“I asked him who has tried the hardest to get him out of retirement… he said Kevin Owens made an attempt during his last appearances in NXT. Also named AJ Styles, Johnny Gargano, Adam Cole among others.”

Regardless, Michaels is retired now and is focused on making NXT a great brand, and many young Superstars of tomorrow benefit from his teaching every day.
