Shawn Michaels On If Vince McMahon Has Asked Him To Return To WWE, Who He Would Want To Face
ESPN has a new interview with WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels, who was promoting his new movie, The Resurrection of Gavin Stone. Below are a couple of highlights:
If he has been approached about a WWE return:
"It's funny because the two guys who really make the decisions, which is Vince [McMahon] and Hunter [Paul 'Triple H' Levesque], in seven years have never even approached me. I guess I'm semi-amused that people think 'Vince is saying this' and whatnot because those are the two people that understand why and respect why I retired and understood it."
His ideal dream return match:
"I look at Samoa Joe and I've told him a number of times that I see his stuff at NXT and think to myself, 'Man, I could have a great deal of fun with you.' He's a guy I have sort of enjoyed, and one of those sleeper guys that no one talks about.
"We have contrasting styles. I get that everybody wants to see me and AJ or Seth or Dolph [Ziggler]. From my standpoint, I think really telling a great story out there [is most important]. I could do it with a guy like Samoa Joe. His stuff looks really good, and sometimes he just looks like he's beating the tar out of somebody."
Michaels also discussed AJ Styles wanting to face him, starring in The Resurrection of Gavin Stone and more. You can read the full interview by clicking here.
