AJ Styles made headlines several weeks ago when he posted a (fan) photo that had him going nose-to-nose with WWE Hall of Famer: Shawn Michaels. This had wrestling fans talking about a potential return for the ‘Heartbreak Kid’. Maybe even at the Royal Rumble, where it is the 20th anniversary of him defeating Psycho Sid for the WWF Title, in the same building (Alamodomo).
Seth Rollins was recently interviewed by Gorilla Position, where he says not so fast AJ Styles. If Shawn returns, he would love to face the legend:
“If he’s ever coming out of retirement it better be at WrestleMania. Kudos to AJ for giving it a shot but he can take a backseat. I would like that match before he gets his hands on Shawn. A lot of people would pay good money to see Shawn and AJ. Me and AJ might have to fight it out. Winner gets Shawn”

On wrestling a similar styles to Michaels:
“I’ve always fancied myself as the guy who can do it all pretty well. I don’t see myself in the ring as a high flyer or brawler or technical guy, but I feel I can do everything, work with everybody, and bring out the best in different people. I would never compare myself to him, but like a Shawn Michaels, a guy who can do everything. I’ve always prided myself on doing different types of matches with different opponents”

Aj Styles vs Shawn Michaels or Seth Rollins vs Shawn Michaels…. I am okay with either of these two if Shawn were to ever come out of retirement. Either of those two matches would be awesome.
