Due to the events we witnessed December 1 on Raw, this question must be on the mind of every HBK fan.  JBL came to the ring for a "street fight" with HBK, but before the match could go on, JBL reminded Shawn of the offer that was made
last week.

The offer: financial stability, in the form of a job working for JBL.  JBL revealed to the Raw audience that due to the recent downturn in the economy, the Michaels' household lost a fortune, putting into question Shawn's ability to pay for college for his children years from now, among other things.

Though Shawn neither confirmed nor denied JBL's accusations, the look on his face and his actions in the ring certainly lent credence to them.

JBL issued Shawn an ultimatum.  Offering the tip of his chin and a free shot to Michaels, JBL told Shawn he would extend the offer one more week, or to take the shot and give up the job forever.  Faced with this decision, Michaels turned away and left the ring, leaving the main question open, leaving other questions to be answered and leaving JBL with a wide grin on his face.
