This week in WWE history (Nov 1-7th) - WWE Hall of Famer returns, Former Champion suffers career-threatening injury

#1. Shawn Michaels comes out of retirement at WWE Crown Jewel - November 2nd, 2018

Shawn Michaels was one of WWE's biggest stars, but he opted to end his in-ring career following his match against The Undertaker at WrestleMania 26.

At the time, Michaels made the decision to step away from the ring so that he could focus on spending time with his family. The WWE Hall of Famer made it clear that he wouldn't be like other stars who returned to the ring after they announced their retirement. The Heartbreak Kid stuck to this statement for more than eight years.

But when Triple H needed his D-Generation X teammate to help him take on The Brothers of Destruction in 2018, Michaels answered the call.

This star-studded tag team match was the main event of Crown Jewel 2018, but the bout wasn't what the WWE Universe was expecting. Due to this disappointing outcome, it's clear that Michaels regretted his decision to lace up his boots again. In recent years, HBK has reiterated that he is now retired, so he won't return any time soon.

Otherwise, Michaels has become one of the leading figures behind the scenes of NXT, and he continues to thrive in this role.
