I'd say take it with a grain of salt, but the evidence is there.
How do y'all feel about this? In my opinion, HBK's retirement was great and I hate to see him tarnish it in any way. But at the same time, it'd be cool to see him in the ring and tagging with Triple H for (most likely) the last time.
Who would you want Taker to team with? I think if they could somehow get Kane, it'd be cool. Maybe Taker teams with Bray Wyatt? Big Show? Demon Balor?

If Shawn Michaels ever does return for one more match, the only place it should ever take place is WrestleMania. Especially not in an event in such an awful country like Saudi Arabia.

An ancient Shawn Michaels who hasn’t wrestled in a decade? This ain’t it, chief. The ‘02-‘10 run was magical, but I don’t think lightning is going to strike twice for HBShizzle.

They should have had him screw taker somehow in the HHH-taker and set up a wrestle mania match with him and taker and if he beat taker he retired. Both go out on top in a full Circle type of way

DX vs Brothers of Destruction sounds good to me.
I wouldn't mind another HBK/Taker match but I'd rather see some matches with Bryan, Styles, Rollins, etc.

This would be such a slap in the face to their fans to have HBK finally return to the ring, and have it happen in Saudi Arabia. Nothing against the country itself, but this company loves to cater to fan-bases of these countries they'll visit once or twice a year at most instead of trying to appease the fans in countries they perform in front of for 90% of the calendar year.

LOL have him work in Saudi Arabia just so 90% of the thread will consist of bitching about it 😂 but in all honesty, as much as I love HBK, I was hoping he’d be one of the ones that actually stayed retired.

That's how business works. You cater to the places that spend more money to get your product. The WWE is trying to make these super cards a big deal, having HBK wrestle on one is a big deal.

Well, Dave said it, so I don't believe a word of it. I'll wait for WWE.com to actually say it's happening, that's a credible source.

I would book it this way. Have Shawn screw Taker out of his win with Triple H. After that a beatdown ensues, the lights go out and Sting comes out to aid Taker. Then we finally get Sting and Taker in the same ring even if it was for a couple of minutes. I'd stop watching wrestling and ride off into the sunset.

seems such a waste to have it happen in Saudi Arabia it should be wrestlemania as much as they try to make Saudi a big card it feels like a glorified house show

If these reports are right, then it will most likely be a Tag Match between Undertaker & Mick Foley vs Triple H & Shawn Michaels. While they definitely teased his return on Monday, I still think it's purely to plug the Super Showdown event, and if Triple H and Mick Foley deliver a similar promo this coming Monday then that will definitely lean more towards Michaels staying retired, and will be more about using two retired legends to put over Triple H and Undertaker.

Shawn Michaels coming out of retirement at any show other than WrestleMania is ing ridiculous.

i could see it being hhh/hbk vs taker/angle
angle is apparently training for a return & its easy for taker to pick someone who he can trust and respect & can hold their own (within reason) & has a vendetta against hhh/steph which would be Angle
hbk recently said he doesnt really wanna work w/ younger talent but wouldnt mind mixin it up with ppl around his own age
OR
On a total curveball & longshot, its taker/sting vs hhh/hbk

Shawn Michaels is one of my two or three favorite wrestlers ever. His retirement was almost perfect (though I feel like the Taker matches kind of birthed the modern finisher spamming ring style so many guys rely on now), but to be honest, by 2010 I was ready for him to retire. I don't want him to come back, especially for some stupid throwaway tag team match.

Years ago I may have been excited about this, but at this point lets leave well enough alone. But like you said, if he's coming back it should be Mania and I personally couldn't care less about a tag match. I'd want one more one on one with Taker or him putting over a younger talent.
