WWE Royal Rumble 2017: 3 Reasons Shawn Michaels Should Be in the Match

Royal Rumble, WWE.com

Shawn Michaels will be making his return on this Monday’s WWE Raw in New Orleans. But should he be in this year’s Royal Rumble as well?

As the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania draw closer, WWE is bringing out the stars. This Monday on Raw, both the Undertaker and Shawn Michaels are scheduled to appear. While nothing is set in stone regarding what either man will do, Michaels is expected to be there to promote his new movie, “The Resurrection of Gavin Stone”. The movie was produced partially by WWE Studios, so it makes sense they would bring him in to promote it given its January 20 release date.

But what if Shawn Michaels is returning to do more than just shill his new movie? What if he shocks the world and announces his intention to enter the 2017 Royal Rumble match?

There were rumors a few months ago sparked by AJ Styles himself that HBK could potentially face Styles at the Royal Rumble. Obviously that won’t be happening, but the rumors of Michaels being in a match at the Royal Rumble have been out there for a while. Michaels being in a wrestling role at one of WWE’s biggest PPVs that just so happens to be taking place in his hometown of San Antonio would be absolute money. Although HBK hasn’t stepped foot in a WWE ring since 2010, here are three reasons why he should do exactly that in four weeks and enter the Royal Rumble match.
