HBK's thrilling run in WWE was nearly brought to an early end when a back injury put him out for more than four years. In that time, he fell in love, had children and found religion. When he finally returned, Michaels displayed none of the flaws that plague many Superstars in their final years in the ring. Instead, The Icon continued to have career-defining matches right up until his last stand against The Phenom at WrestleMania XXVI.
