10 Best Shawn Michaels WWE WrestleMania Matches

5. Vs. Triple H Vs. Chris Benoit - WrestleMania XX

For some at the time, adding Shawn Michaels to the main event of WrestleMania XX was thought to be a mistake. 

To them, Royal Rumble winner Chris Benoit should have gone up against World Heavyweight Champion Triple H in a singles match that night in Madison Square Garden. 

Some of the skepticism may have come from the fact that triple threat matches are harder to put together well, as well as some feeling that HBK was inserted to either win the match and the title, or to taste the pin from The Game, at the expense of the Rabid Wolverine having his moment.  

Nobody had anything to worry about come bell time, because Michaels, Triple H and Benoit assembled one of the best triple threat matches ever, a fitting finale to a historic show. 

Any combination of the three was gold and the double juice job from the DX lads added to the drama of it all. Michaels may have been a third wheel in the eyes of some fans, but he did everything he could to put on a great main event and get The Crippler over in the process. 

Confirmation (as if it were needed) that Shawn Michaels was back to his best and belonged on the main stage.
