Here are the five legends that the WWE universe will pop for on the 25th anniversary of Raw.
#5 Shawn Michaels
Shawn Michaels is often considered to be the greatest in-ring talent ever and was the co-founder and original leader of the successful stable, D-Generation X. He headlined Wrestlemania an impressive five times and faced The Undertaker in two consecutive Wrestlemania events.
His final match took place in 2010 at Wrestlemania 26 against The Undertaker in a losing effort and was forced to retire due to the match stipulation. Michaels was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on April 2, 2011, by his best friend Triple H.
Michales is currently signed to WWE as an ambassador and trainer. He recently surprised fans by dishing out some Sweet Chin Music as a special guest referee in the Drew Mcintyre vs Adam Cole NXT Title match at the San Antonio, Texas, house show on November 18, 2017. Michaels has been loyal to Vince McMahon throughout his career and is highly respected backstage. A "sweet chin music" to any of the young and upcoming superstars at the 25th anniversary of Raw would be a good treat for the fans.
