After returning back to WWE in 2002, Shawn Michaels showed no signs of ring rust. In fact, he looked better than ever and wrestled absolute clinics in three consecutive WrestleManias, with the likes of Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit and Triple H.

On the Blue brand, Eddie Guerrero had become a legit main-eventer who was consistently being featured in top tier matches against fellow SmackDown superstars like Batista, JBL and Rey Mysterio.

The WWE had pencilled in plans for an Inter-promotional match, pitting Michaels against Eddie, as a part of their WrestleMania tradition that began with Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 20.

In November of 2005, just weeks before Survivor Series, Eddie Guerrero passed away due to a heart attack. The wrestling world was in disbelief as they couldn't believe that Eddie had left the world at the tender age of 37.

Shawn Michaels battled Vince McMahon in a bloody brawl at WrestleMania, and the WWE Universe was robbed of a dream match that had all the ingredients to be an absolute classic.
