There aren't many who got a sendoff as grand and iconic as the Heart Break Kid did. He lost to The Undertaker in the main event of WWE WrestleMania 26, and bid farewell to the business with 70,000+ fans applauding him and giving him a standing ovation.

Unlike many before him, Michaels stayed true to his word and remained retired, until WWE called him back for a dream tag team match at Crown Jewel 2018. Following the event, Michaels made it known that this was it for him, and he was done with wrestling.

I'm good with what I've done. I no longer want to do it anymore, the only thing better than having your own WrestleMania moment is watching and helping someone with theirs.

The match in question saw Michaels reforming DX with his best friend Triple H to take on The Brothers of Destruction (Kane and The Undertaker). The bout was heavily criticized by fans and critics alike, but Michaels did fine for someone who had been away from the ring for 8 years.

Now, Michaels serves as a backstage producer for NXT.
