During an appearance on the 7PM in Brooklyn podcast, Shawn Michaels was asked why he and The Rock never faced each other.
Addressing the longstanding speculation on backstage issues between the two former WWE Champions, Michaels responded:
He didn’t like me. [laughs] No, I will say this — there’s a big kerfuffle in the wrestling business about me and Hunter, you know, doing stuff to him and being mean and stuff like that. All of it way blown out of proportion, none of it even accurate. But things that when he was younger was fed a lot. But, again, later on and to this day, we get along and we talk about stuff. That’s one I think everybody would have liked to have seen. But by the time I came back, he was well off into his Hollywood career and stuff like that.
The WWE Hall of Famer is the subject of an upcoming documentary titled The Heartbreak Kid: Becoming Shawn Michaels premiering April 13 on Peacock.
