Better: Shawn Michaels performs

I'm not keen on watching 50-year-old wrestlers in the ring, and I wish Shawn Michaels had stayed retired, but to a lot of people, this was at least a novel thing to see. Shawn Michaels was far from his old self in the ring, but of the four stars taking part in this match, he at least looked like he could go. He still clearly has a few matches left in him if he wants to continue this return to the ring.

People need to be thinking about matches with AJ Styles, Seth Rollins, and Daniel Bryan in particular after seeing this match yesterday afternoon.

A lot of people might wish to revisit Crown Jewel to see Shawn Michaels back for the first time in eight years. That's more than can be said for Backlash to fans of this persuasion, which may not offer them much at all.
