When The Rock first arrived in WWE it was already well established that Shawn Michaels was one of the top stars in the company, and over the years there’s been rumors of backstage heat between HBK and The Great One.
During a recent appearance on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast the Heartbreak Kid opened up about his relationship with The Rock and he noted that the heat between the two stars wasn’t as bad as some people made it out to be.
“I’ve never worked with him. His daughter [Simon Johnson] is here [in NXT]. The times I’ve seen him, we’ve always gotten along okay. I don’t think it was as bad as everyone made it out to be. I know that I gave everybody a hard time back when I was younger.
When I came back, I made sure I went up to everybody and was at least like, ‘Sorry.’ That’s the best that I could do. When I came back in 2002, and I knew there was going to be, ‘We’ll see.’ It was important to me to go around and make amends and at least tell everyone, ‘Sorry about the way I was. I have no excuse, I’m willing to earn back whatever. If you never talk to me again, I’m cool with that too.’”
Shawn Michaels vs. The Rock is considered by many to be a dream match, but unfortunately it doesn’t look like it’s ever going to happen as HBK is retired and it’s not clear at this point in time if The Rock will end up wrestling again.
