5 WWE Legends and the one match that they should come out of retirement for

We would love to see a battle of the two Samoans

#4 Shawn Michaels vs. AJ Styles

This one hardly requires any selling from my end as the WWE itself seems to be doing a bang-up job of it. A fanmade poster that AJ put out on social media had the embers of speculation well and truly stoked, and the WWE capitalised on the hype, having the two sit opposite each other in an episode of Table for Three to discuss it further.

In the ensuing tete-a-tete, we realised that AJ was all for it while Shawn – an exception in the sense that he’s stayed retired after hanging up his boots – admitted that the match nurdled his interest sufficiently for him to toy with the idea when Vince broached it.

It was the furthest that the Heart Break Kid had gone to admitting that he’d gotten the itch to wrestle again, and if the WWE’s track record in bringing back legends to perform in the past few years is anything to go by, I'd even stick out my neck and say that this is the most likely dream match on this list to actually get booked.

Dave Meltzer, I’d get those stars ready if I were you.
