#3 Shawn Michales’ ultimate fairytale – November 17, 2002
Trending
At the same event that Brock Lesnar lost his invincibility, Shawn Michaels completed the ultimate fairy tale by capturing the World Heavyweight Championship – his first after returning to the ring, having been away for four years owing to back problems.
Everyone had thought that Michaels’ career was over after his 1998 retirement, but HBK returned better than ever and would capture the World title in the first ever Elimination Chamber match. The bout also featured Triple H, Rob Van Dam, Chris Jericho, Kane and Booker.T.
Michaels would lose the title to Triple H soon after, but the short sojourn to the ring would turn out to be the new phase of his career. Michaels would remain an active wrestler for the better part of the decade, delivering five-star matches with the likes of Chris Jericho, Ric Flair, John Cena and the Undertaker.
