3) Shawn Michaels vs Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins is a guy who is often compared to Shawn Michaels. This is not just said by WWE fans though. On his appearance on Edge and Christian’s podcast, Kane had some big praise for Seth, comparing him to the Heartbreak Kid:
“Anyone that has ever been in the ring with Seth, he really is the second-coming of Shawn Michaels… He is that good.”
Seth wants the match as well. Here is what he said in an interview back in 2017 about his dream opponent:
“Shawn Michaels…he’s always my answer just because he’s my favorite wrestler ever, and I think he’s just the best. I’d love to go out there and tear it up with him at Wrestlemania, you know they don’t call him Mr. Wrestlemania for no reason. The guy is just incredible at what he does, and obviously I could learn a lot being in the ring with him, but it would just be fantastic to get out there, and have a match with him.”
With the current run that Seth is on right now, I think that many fans would love to see Michaels vs Rollins happen. I am one of those fans.
2) Shawn Michaels vs Daniel Bryan
Shawn Michaels and Daniel Bryan have a really cool history with one another. Michaels actually trained Bryan at the Texas Wrestling Academy (TWA) back in the late 1990’s. Here is a photo of a young Daniel and Shawn:
Amazing how Daniel Bryan was trained by Shawn Michaels, a man who returned to the ring years after a career-ending injury, and now Bryan is doing exactly the same thing as his mentor #SDLive pic.twitter.com/pfXib9D41I

That history alone seems like it would make for an incredible build towards a match. Just imagine that pre-match video package!
As far as in-ring talent goes, Bryan is considered as one of the best wrestlers in WWE. There is no doubt in my mind that Bryan and Shawn could put on a fun match with one another. The teacher vs student storyline would be amazing.
1) Shawn Michaels vs AJ Styles
If you were to poll WWE fans about who they want to see Shawn Michaels face from the current WWE roster, my guess would be that AJ Styles’ name is one that would come up the most. Styles is widely considered one of the best wrestlers in the entire world, just as Shawn was during his prime.
It is clear that AJ Styles wants this match. Prior to the 2017 Royal Rumble in San Antonio, Styles Tweeted out a graphic that teased him vs Michaels at the event:
Interesting photo….. is it not? pic.twitter.com/MKgF4XoAF1

This obviously didn’t happen but left a lot of fans wondering ‘what if?’. I think they would tear it up and my guess is that many fans would love to see it!
