5 WWE legends who will never return to the ring

#2 Three-time WWE Champion Shawn Michaels

Shawn Michaels officially retired from WWE after he lost to The Undertaker at WrestleMania 26. For the longest time, it looked as though he would be one of the few professional wrestlers to stick to his word. Michaels had even turned down dream matches with Bryan Danielson and AJ Styles.

However, he was enticed to tag with Triple H in a match against The Brothers of Destruction at WWE Crown Jewel 2018. The bout was panned by the audience and received the Wrestling Observer Newsletter's "Worst Match of the Year" award.

Michaels later revealed his regret at returning to the ring and has no desire to do so again during an interview with the New York Post.

"I think people have always been kind of confused with my peace and joy with the way I did things and that somehow there should be something nagging at me, something left unfinished.

I think it's hard for people to not always see me as Shawn Michaels and I see the entire picture and I know the guy who started as a 200-pound guy that wasn't supposed to make it in WWE. So for me, I compare that to what I did get the opportunity to do and it's hard not to be happy about that," said Shawn Michaels.
