HBK's friend and former WWE Superstar, X-Pac, revealed that WWE had offered big money to tempt Michaels to return to the ring 8 years after announcing his retirement at WrestleMania 26.

X-Pac spoke about the offer on his podcast: "There’s a lot of money being thrown around. It’s an insane amount of money being thrown around. I know that this weekend I was in Baltimore and I was with Shawn Michaels, Scott Hall, and Kevin Nash and we were talking about that.

"You know they wanted to get Shawn, and he was just like, ‘you know what, don’t even bother sending me an offer and trying to tempt me’. Cause there’s huge money offers," said X-Pac.

Michaels did return later in the year at Crown Jewel, when he teamed with Triple H to face off against The Undertaker and Kane. But Michaels will not be returning to the ring anytime soon, as he announced that he's retired and will not be tempted back.
