PWInsider is reporting that Shawn Michaels is scheduled to appear at this Monday’s WWE Raw taping to help build for his return match at Crown Jewel on November 2nd.
Two Mondays ago we saw HBK reform DX with Triple H and it will be interesting to see if Michaels’ presence on Monday will mask any negativity swirling around the Saudi Arabia controversy. Michaels is scheduled to make his first in-ring appearance since losing to The Undertaker back at Wrestlemania 26 almost nine years ago.
