[Mr. Nerfect]

I would like to see Chris Jericho provoke Michaels back, and when he does return to fight Jericho (not wrestle), a video on the titantron comes up, and Lance Cade is talking to Rebecca. Cade tells her that he does not approve of what Jericho did, but that Michaels has been a horrible husband to her. He is going to fight Jericho, instead of thinking about her and the kids, and he did put her in harm's way.

Rebecca is upset at first, but Cade sweet talks her a bit, and then drops hints that he has been interested in her. He's a bigger man, in good shape, younger...HBK isn't the "Sexy Boy" from his song anymore. Rebecca agrees to some sort of meeting with Cade in the future. HBK is hurt and furious. He attacks Jericho and Cade, but the numbers wear him down, until Paul London runs in with a steel chair for the save. London tells HBK that he can't let these two beat him, and that he admires Michaels too much to see him turn into this silly old man stumbling into traps and getting his ass kicked all the time.

Cue Shawn Michaels & Paul London vs. Chris Jericho & Lance Cade. This is Michaels' return match, and he finds himself teaming with one of his appreciative students. Michaels finds himself isolated and beaten down during the match. HBK gets a tag to London, who flies in...and then tags Michaels again, before bringing him back into the ring and beating him down. Jericho, Cade & London join in on an HBK beat-down, and finally Jericho gets the pin on Michaels with one of his cocky poses. Jericho & Cade win.

The next night, Paul London says he didn't even study personally under Shawn Michaels. HBK wasn't back in the WWE at the time, he was just too selfish to spend time on Michaels, and instead mentored his former tag team partner in Brian Kendrick. London says that Michaels didn't even share it with the world when his student made the WWE, and only the fans with enough interest to do the research knew about their connection. London says he is helping Michaels truly find God by putting his old, balding, broken down shell out of commission.

HBK has had enough. The final straw has been broken, and he returns with his head-shaved, new attire, and a pissed off look about him. He's shed his family, and his famous image, just to defend his honour and his legacy as a wrestler. Jericho gets excited, and says this is exactly what he wanted Michaels to do. London also shares in the joy, although Lance Cade doesn't seem happy about this. Jericho introduces us to a man who idolises him, Johnny Jeter. Jericho says that he doesn't push those who worship him or train under him away. He allows them to share his spotlight. Jericho, Cade, London & Jeter are celebrating in the ring one night, when Shawn Michaels' (new?) music hits, and out comes Michaels, walking with a purpose. Jericho asks Michaels what he plans to do against an army -- before Tyson Tomko appears out of nowhere, and starts taking down the members of Jericho's party. HBK says it is time to acknowledge one of his students, and puts over Tomko as the biggest and baddest of them.

Michaels also invites The Brian Kendrick to RAW, with Ezekiel Jackson, and tells Kendrick that he was the pupil that reminded him most of himself, and that he wants Kendrick on his side to go to war against Jericho. Kendrick says he is better than Shawn Michaels ever was, and that he's the future and Michaels' body is wearing down...but Kendrick would love to prove himself by floating a sinking ship. Kendrick and Michaels form a sort of alliance without ever being good friends. The Kendrick just respects the legacy of his teacher, and HBK respects the zone Kendrick has found. Ezekiel Jackson joins because Kendrick does, and is happy to be working with a future Hall of Famer like Michaels.

So at Survivor Series we get Chris Jericho leading Lance Cade, Paul London & Johnny Jeter against Shawn Michaels, Tyson Tomko, The Brian Kendrick & Ezekiel Jackson. Poor Zeke goes first, when Kendrick instructs him to get himself disqualified to weaken all the members of Team Jericho. This allows The Kendrick to pin Jeter after hitting The Kendrick. Tyson Tomko then beheads Paul London with a Chainsaw Kick to eliminate him. Tomko finds himself the victim of some heel shenanigans, and is eliminated by Lance Cade. It's down to Jericho & Cade vs. Michaels & The Kendrick. Brian is isolated and beaten down on, but Kendrick gets put in the Walls of Jericho, and has the heart to get to his corner and tag Michaels, who cleans house, and pins Jericho with the Sweet Chin Music. Jericho hits the same move on Cade, and is about to win the match, when Kendrick breaks up the pin, and hits Michaels with The Kendrick, which allows Cade to crawl into the cover and get the pin. Kendrick just shakes his head looking as Cade stands victorious.

Michaels then goes on a hit-man streak, pinning Kendrick, London, Jeter, Cade and finally getting Jericho one-on-one at WrestleMania in Houston, where Michaels goes over, and Kendrick, London, Cade & Jeter actually give him his due and applaud him after he wins from the stage.

Well, that's just a random way they could go with the angle.
