Shawn Michaels picks his favorite rivalries

Shawn Michaels has given the WWE Universe many memorable moments in his long and illustrious career. Michaels retired from the WWE for the second time when he lost his match against The Phenom, The Undertaker at WrestleMania 26. This marked Michaels second loss to The Deadman at WrestleMania. However, Michaels came out of retirement to re-form D-Generation X and face the Brothers Of Destruction at Crown Jewel in 2018.

Shawn Michaels' best rivalry of his career

Shawn Michaels spoke to Vicente Beltrán of ViBe & Wrestling about the best rivalries he has had in the WWE.

“Well I think it’s got to be Bret Hart right? I mean my goodness how do you mention me and not mention income Bret and certainly it spilled over into real life but again all these all these years later … it was something that was so palpable and people felt it so as proud as I am of all those other rivalries I think it’s Hart.”
“If we don’t mention that one I would say Triple H. I think he and I even though now I certainly everybody has always associated both of us with our friendship that I think they always knew was very real and palpable. We still managed to cross one another backwards and forwards as good guy, bad guy, medium guys, tagging together. We did a lot of stuff together. Triple H and I that you couldn’t always get away with but because people knew the behind-the-scenes story on me and I it somehow always seemed to make sense.
They could understand us beating each other because they knew we were both really competitive and competitive with one another and that always added to the storyline… so I have to say it in the first part of my career you say Bret Hart and then the second part I think I’d have to say Triple H.” (h/t wrestlingnews.co)

Shawn Michaels had heated rivalries with both Superstars in his career. The Montreal Screwjob and his on and off relationship with Triple H will be spoken about for generations to come.
