Shawn Michaels was recently interviewed by Sports Illustrated. During the interview, Michaels discussed his retirement match against the Undertaker at Wrestlemania XXVI.
Shawn revealed that there was an “out clause” in case that he changed his mind about hanging up the boots for good.
Here is what Michaels said:
“I don’t know that I ever completely decided that it was going to be it [for my career] until after that match was over. We had always sort of discussed sort of an ‘out clause,’ so to speak, if I had the desire to do it again.
But I can remember myself, and ‘Taker, and Michael Hayes just sitting there after the match, like we had done the year before, just the three of us, sort of sitting there, alone, taking it in, and I said, ‘You know something, guys? I feel good with that.’”
A pretty interesting tidbit about the legendary match.
