5. Shawn Michaels Age

They say that age is just a number. However, in the case of Shawn Michaels, the number counts. He is 51 years old, and while some people consider fifty the new forty, his age is a concern when he steps into the ring. Considering the countless injuries his body has absorbed, the notion of him competing at his current age raises the concern what new injuries he could suffer in a match. Not to mention past ones that could get re-aggravated.

When Sting faced off against Seth Rollins at the 2015 Night of Champions, the 54-year-old finished the match with a severe injury that saw him brought to the hospital by ambulance, and has forced the end of his career. The Shawn Michaels fans are used to seeing took risk after risk, and he would be facing someone who is twelve years his junior. In order for them to manage to make this match work, it would take a lot of great timing, with the risk taken that even the slightest miscue could go very, very wrong.
