WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels says he recently declined an offer to lace up the boots one more time and face AJ Styles at WrestleMania 33.
HBK was the guest on the latest Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast and revealed WWE approached him with an opportunity to face the Phenomenal One at the company’s biggest show of the year. Michaels is enjoying retirement, which is great for him but unfortunate for the rest of us.
“I could’ve had that match, they did not have an opponent for AJ at Wrestlemania”, Michaels said.
He went on to say that he knows fans would have loved the match, but the timing wasn’t right and it will be relegated to a dream match that never came to be.
“I wish that man was here 10 years ago man, I really do.”
Styles will face Shane McMahon next Sunday at WrestleMania in a match that’s sure to feature some show-stealing high spots.
