#8 Shawn Michaels vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin - 1997

Tag Team Champions collide

Much like the Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman, Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold Steve Austin was a match of two Superstars who were feuding and got placed in a tag team that saw them become WWE Tag Team Champions.

Shawn Michaels started off the match by aiding a fan who fell over the barricade. This gave the dirty heel Steve Austin an opportunity to attack him from behind. They had a series of submissions and tests of strength, followed by some quick near falls. They battled outside of the ring and back in, through a mixed reception from the crowd for both Superstars.

The ref was knocked down, then Michaels attempted a Super Kick but was reversed into a Stunner. After a recovery, Michaels then hit Austin with a Sweet Chin Music and made the cover. Another referee ran down but instead of making the count, he checked on the first referee. This angered Michaels to the point that he knocked out this referee also. In an unpopular decision, both men were disqualified.
