WWE RAW: Shawn Michaels BACK from retirement and is set for Undertaker megamatch
SHAWN MICHAELS announced his return from retirement and reformed D-Generation X with his best friend Triple H to face The Undertaker and Kane in a Tag Team Match at WWE Crown Jewel.
Michaels will come back to in-ring action for the first time in over eight years on November 2 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia after being part of a historic bout at WWE Super Show-Down.
Triple H defeated Undertaker, who had his scripted brother Kane in his corner, in the last ever match between them at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia thanks to a lot of help from Michaels who was backing his best friend from ringside.
The Heartbreak Kid took full advantage of the No Disqualification’s lenient stipulations and hit Taker with Sweet Chin Music three times before The Game picked up the win with a vicious Pedigree.
After the match all four legends shook hands and raised each other’s arms as the live crowd in Melbourne gave them a standing ovation.
D-Generation X is ready
But then The Brothers of Destruction snapped as Undertaker hit Triple H with a devastating Tombstone Piledriver and then Chokeslammed HBK through the announce desk.
The King of Kings and Michaels made a rare appearance on RAW tonight at the Allstate Arena in Chicago and made it clear that they no longer have any respect for The Deadman or The Big Red Machine.
The Showstopper retired in 2010 after losing to Undertaker at WrestleMania for the second year in a row and revealed a few weeks ago that he has remained out in the sidelines as a sign of respect to his legendary rival.
However, the four-time world champion insists he no longer holds The Phenom in high regard after last weekend’s brutal attack and made it clear he is ready to wrestle again.
Michaels said: “You know sometimes you respect someone for what he used to represent and then it dawns to you that respect is no longer a two-way street.
“I don’t know how many of you have had the opportunity to make the flight from Melbourne, Australia to Chicago but it is a long freaking way.
“A long time to sit there and think about the beatdown that we took at Super Show-Down. And it is a long time to sit there and think.
“To think about the last eight-and-a-half long years that I have sat there and honoured my word out of respect, a respect that never existed at all.
“When those wheels touched down in Chicago, that door opened I was about to walk off that plane.
“You [Triple H] looked up to me, looked me in the eye and said three words that I never ever thought I’d ever hear again.”
And Triple then looked Michaels in the eyes and said: “Are you ready?
“But the question isn’t for Shawn, because I know he is.
“The question is for The Undertaker, the question is for Kane, the question is for The Brothers of Destruction.
“Crown Jewel; the question is, are you ready?”
Michaels then announced the return of the legendary DX as he stated: “D-Generation X is ready.
“Kane, Undertaker, Brothers of Destruction. I say this with absolutely no respect at all.
“If you are not down with that, we got two words for you…”
