5 WWE dream matches that didn’t happen (and the reasons why)

#3 The Rock vs Shawn Michaels

Shawn Michaels (L) and The Rock (R)

This is one of those rivalries that never converted into an in-ring match. Fans always wanted to see The Rock locking horns with Shawn Michaels but the People’s Champ wasn’t interested in facing him. Last year, pro-wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer appeared in Chris Jericho’s Talk is Jericho podcast and he spilt the beans as to why this dream match never happened in WWE.

“There was a time when the Midnight Rockers were on a show in Hawaii and Rock’s grandmother was the promoter and I guess there were problems in the dressing room and Rock wanted to beat up Shawn.” (Credits for the quotes)

It’s been nearly two decades since Rock’s debut in WWE and it seems like both Superstars have buried their hatchet. While we won’t see a match between them now, it would have been great to see two of the biggest WWE Superstars working together in the ring.
