Mentioned during an interview on the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast (h/t Dan Gartland of SI.com):
On one hand, I'd have loved to see this. On the other, I like how Michaels is pretty much the only wrestler ever to hold up his end of the bargain in a retirement match.
Really wish AJ wasn't fighting Shane though. :/
Bleacher Report said:WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels revealed Thursday that WWE offered him the opportunity to face AJ Styles at WrestleMania 33.
During an interview on the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast (h/t Dan Gartland of SI.com), the Heartbreak Kid mentioned that WWE had put the dream match on the table:
"I guess I'm breaking something with you and I don't even know if I should, but I could have had that match. They didn't have an opponent for AJ at WrestleMania. I said that I hadn't been asked because I hadn'tbut then I was. ... I said, 'I wish that young man was here 10 years ago, man. I honestly do. I think he's very talented.'"
HBK retired following his WrestleMania 26 match against The Undertaker and hasn't competed since.
