What if Shawn Michaels had stayed on full time after Crown Jewel?

#4 DX vs. The Shield

WWE has been making good on dream matches. DX vs. The Shield could be very interesting.

For as much as Shawn Michaels himself will always be a draw for WWE, the company was known to go back to the DX well whenever it could justify it, returning to HBK teaming up with Triple H. Particularly given that that was the tandem he returned to be a part of in the first place, it seems fair to assume WWE would go back to that well once The Game was cleared from the injury he incurred at Crown Jewel.

Whether DX worked face or heel, it feels like it may have only been a matter of time before they crossed paths with The Shield.

In various two on two permutations, with Michaels and Triple H bringing back someone like X-Pac or Road Dogg for a nostalgia pop, or enlisting a new third man to give the rub, DX vs. The Shield could be sold as an intergenerational dream match. While Michaels and Helmsley would be past their primes, they’re both smart workers and The Hounds of Justice could likely cover for them to deliver a stellar enough bout.
