Top 10 WWE Superstar Returns Expected With Triple H As Head Of Creative and Hiring?!

This comes after some big returns, a few expected as per highlights below, to WWE under the new administration whose creative is now led by Triple H.

However, the biggest return was one of the last of the previous era with “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes who is currently recovering from injury.

That said, having combed through the last three years worth of WWE exits, including a HUGE recent wave, here are my picks for additional returns.

  • Lio Rush (27)

  • Tegan Nox (27)

  • Deonna Purrazzo (28)

  • Authors of Pain – Rezar (28) & Akam (29)

  • Iiconics – Peyton Royce (29) & Billie Kay (33)

  • Bronson Reed (33)

  • Bray Wyatt (35)

  • Harry Smith (37)

As you can see most of my picks are on the younger side. However, it should be noted that there are other WWE releases that the new regime may be interested, but most have been picked up by competitors, primarily AEW or Impact Wrestling, in multi-year contracts. Those would include:

  • Toni Storm (26)

  • Ruby Riott (31)

  • Swerve Strickland (31)

  • Andrade “Cien” Almas (32)

  • Ember Moon (33)

  • Mia Yim (33)
  • Keith Lee (37)

  • Adam Cole (33)
  • Kyle O’Reilly (35)
  • Bobby Fish (45)

I would have included Matt Cardona (37) and Chelsea Green (31), but the former is doing so well monetarily and otherwise on the indies it’s unclear if he’d want to come back. While Green is his wife it is more likely she could return solo.

Also, NXT and NXT UK call-ups to Raw or Smackdown are also expected including the four-some Legado Del Fantasma as teased this week.

There’s also the anticipated returns of Sasha Banks and Naomi.

Plus, there may be new signees like, perhaps, at some point like MJF (26).
