In what has already been a remarkable episode of Monday Night Raw, Shawn Michaels came down to give his thoughts on the upcoming matchup between The Undertaker and Triple H at WWE Super Show-Down. However, the Heartbreak Kid was interrupted by the Dead Man himself.

Michels and Undertaker of course have history, competing in the first ever Hell in a Cell match together, and having two back-to-back WrestleMania classics that resulted in Michaels’ retirement in 2010 — a rare pro wrestling retirement that still stands to this day.
Undertaker approached the ring and grabbed a microphone, noting “this just became personal.” He went on to talk about Michaels and Triple H, and how he has put both down in the past, and accusing Michaels of being upset because ‘Taker took his career.

After Michaels explained he has turned down “literally millions and millions of dollars” to stay retired out of respect for the Undertaker, Undertaker opined he stayed retired not out of respect, but out of fear. In the end, Undertaker assured Michaels he would put “your buddy, Triple H” down again, after playing mind games with the Heartbreak Kid.
