youtube-cover

WWE have their own set of dream matches for the fans, and one of them was Daniel Bryan vs Shawn Michaels. As per a PWInsider report (h/t Wrestle Zone), the company was planning the clash in 2013 and wanted the Heartbreak Kid to come out of retirement.

However, Shawn Michaels rejected the idea as he was not willing to return to the ring. HBK was one of the trainers for Daniel Bryan and had huge praise for him.

In an interview with WWE.com, Shawn Michaels was quoted saying:

"Heck, I knew at first glance what a talented young man he was. He came in good, for heaven's sakes. His work ethic, his integrity, his dedication, all of that stuff was all phenomenal from the get-go. And honestly, he had an understanding that it was going to be tough. He knew it was going to be a long road for him, and none of those things bothered him."

We never got the dream match WWE planned and now reports suggest Daniel Bryan is headed for AEW.
