5 Unexpected times Shawn Michaels hit a Superkick in WWE [Watch]

#3 Shelton Benjamin

Possibly the best Superkick that Shawn Michaels has ever connected in his life, this one came on the back of an amazing match with the up-and-coming Superstar Shelton Benjamin.

At this time, Benjamin was looked on as one of the future stars in WWE. He had wrestled with Evolution at the start of his career and had got a push, although that did not last long. Unfortunately for Shelton, things would not wind up working out for him in WWE, and he would leave the company. He has returned since, but not really had any major success.

However, before all of that, during a match with Shawn Michaels, which was not really supposed to be special, the two men created a moment that will forever go down as iconic in WWE.

Shelton was apparently thrown by Michaels outside the ring, but he had hung on to the ropes. He tried to jump into the ring, and immediately, in a split second, it was obvious that was a mistake, as Michaels hit him with a Superkick in mid-air. It was one of the most beautiful Superkicks of all time, and will forever be one of the most unexpected as well.
