8 WWE legends and what happened in their final match

When Shawn Michaels was advertised to make an appearance on Monday Night Raw last week, the majority of WWE fans thought he would be there simply to promote the upcoming match between The Undertaker and Triple H at Super Show-Down.However, following an intense war of words with the returning Undertaker, it feels more possible now than ever that HBK might come out of retirement before WrestleMania 35, with the Barn Burner Fired Up podcast reporting that he could have matches against ‘Taker, Kevin Owens, Johnny Gargano and AJ Styles.If any of those dream encounters come to fruition, it will be the first time since WrestleMania XXVI, where Michaels lost to The Undertaker, that he has competed in a WWE ring.So, are the reports true? Will HBK really go back on his retirement and lace up the boots again? Or will he stick to his word and are we all getting excited about something that might not even happen?Either way, all the talk about Michaels’ potential retirement U-turn got us thinking about his fellow WWE legends and who they fought in their final match, so let’s take a look at how eight Hall of Famers ended their careers with the company.#8 Hulk HoganHulk Hogan still regularly teases that he could lace up the boots againDue to financial disagreements with Vince McMahon in the mid-00s, Hulk Hogan didn’t have an official retirement match with WWE.
