Preview:Shawn Michaels vs. Mr. Kennedy
The fight for supremacy between two of Raw’s top Superstars will spill over to Armageddon, as Shawn Michaels and Mr. Kennedy will face off in the ring at the spectacular in the Steel City.
The Green Bay, Wis., loudmouth has been irate as of late, telling everyone who’ll listen that he deserves a WWE Championship opportunity. The 2007 Money in the Bank winner had that chance in hand after WrestleMania 23, but lost it due to an injury.
After seeing HBK request another chance at Randy Orton’s WWE Title, Kennedy could take it no more, and challenged Michaels’ request. He said The Showstopper has had his opportunities and that it was time for him to step aside.
Kennedy certainly has the résumé to be a championship contender. He’s worn the United States Title, and has beaten seven world champions, including Undertaker, Rey Mysterio and current World Heavyweight Champion, Batista.
But The Showstopper will likely have something to say about Kennedy’s caterwauling over lost championship opportunities.
Despite losing to Orton at Survivor Series (though without his Sweet Chin Music in his arsenal), HBK is increasingly angry at those who have tried to build their careers at his expense.
And as seen when Kennedy caught Sweet Chin Music through a steel chair, Michaels doesn’t take kindly to those who mock his championship-laden, highlight-reel career.
Pittsburgh will be ready for a brutal battle of two Superstars with steel resolve and championship dreams. Who will come out on top? Watch Armageddon on Dec. 16, only on pay-per-view to find out.
