Backstage Update On 'HBK' Shawn Michaels & WWE Inside
Partial Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter
For those that have asked, there are no plans as of now for a Shawn Michaels return. When he went out for knee surgery initial estimates had him returning to WWE in November. However, Michaels is a family man that is said to be thoroughly enjoying his time at home. He is also said to be very pleased with his career in the ring. This does not mean that he is finished although he has not given any indications that he is in a rush to return. The feeling backstage is that Triple H took him to Ohio Valley Wrestling a couple of weeks ago to try and get the business back in his blood.
If Michaels does return sometime this fall it will most likely be in a feud with Randy Orton. This would make sense due to the fact that Orton put him out with a "concussion" a few months back. It should be noted, however, that there are no guarantees and it could be significantly longer before we see the Heart Break Kid back in the ring.
