Asked to give his prediction on the last-time-ever clash between Triple H and The Undertaker at WWE Super Show-Down, Shawn Michaels didn’t hesitate to declare that The Deadman was in over his head and The Game simply had more left in the tank than the legendary Superstar who forced HBK into retirement. Turns out someone was listening.
With the unmistakable toll of the gong and darkening of the arena, The Deadman made his always-ominous entrance to remind Michaels that he’d taken the best both he and The King of Kings had to offer, ultimately surmising that HBK was still bitter over that career-ending defeat in 2010.
Michaels replied that he had honored his vow to remain retired out of respect to the system, the audience and Undertaker himself, despite the constant chants of “One More Match.” Undertaker fired back that maybe Michaels was afraid because he knew if he had come out of retirement, The Deadman would put him down again — the exact fate, he claimed, that awaits Triple H at Super Show-Down.
