R-Truth is back in WWE after being let go by the company. Fans’ demand was just too strong to ignore, and WWE was compelled to bring back Truth. He wasted no time either, since the announcement of his release, showing up at Money in the Bank to take down John Cena in the tag team match.
Now, with R-Truth back in the promotion, fans are wondering if Triple H or Nick Khan might bring back some more WWE legends. But before looking into the big names who could return, let’s take a moment to understand why the company has been letting go of veteran stars in the first place.
Why is WWE releasing superstars from the promotion?
WWE could be cutting ties with veteran stars because of their hefty salaries. While some legends might get released, others could end up with a renewed contract, but at a much lower paycheck. There’s even buzz that Roman Reigns might be getting a fresh deal with the company.
So, any stars making a comeback won’t be raking in the same kind of money they once did, but they’ll still have a shot at returning under a revised contract. Let us take a look at some of the stars who can return to the company after R-Truth’s comeback.
These WWE stars can make a comeback to the promotion after R-Truth
5. Carlito
Carlito is hands down one of the biggest names in the history of the promotion, with a massive fan base behind him. Since his recent release, it seems like it’s only a matter of time before the company caves to fan demand and brings him back, just like they did with R-Truth.
Carlito has bagged major WWE championships in his career, like winning the United States Championship, the Intercontinental Championship, and the WWE Tag Team Championship. This may also influence the company to take him back.
4. Braun Strowman
The former WWE Universal champion, Braun Strowman, was one of the most influential figures of the promotion. The Monster among Men has high chances of returning to the company. He has recently worked on a USA Network show produced by WWE, which shows he is still indirectly involved with the company. It may not be long before he directly gets involved with the promotion again.
3. Dakota Kai
Dakota Kai’s release just doesn’t make any sense, She’s an incredibly talented wrestler with so much to offer; she has previously left her mark in NXT, and WWE could really profit from her massive fan following. It could have been her hefty paycheck that led to her exit, but fans wouldn’t be surprised if the company brings her back soon with a renewed contract.
2. Cora Jade
Cora Jade is an incredibly talented rising star who has already shown she’s got serious skills in the ring. She was one of the best women wrestlers in NXT and has the NXT women’s tag team championship to show for it. Despite that, she was let go by the company, but a comeback could definitely be on the horizon. If she does return, teaming up with Roxanne Perez on RAW could turn her return into something special.
1. Dolph Ziggler
We all remember Dolph Ziggler as the effortlessly cool, stylish wrestler from our childhood. He was one of the most popular WWE wrestlers with a stylish persona and a long list of accolades to his name: two-time World Heavyweight Champion, a six-time Intercontinental Champion, a two-time United States Champion, and a two-time Raw Tag Team Champion.
Since he left the company, the rumor mill has been buzzing about a possible comeback. Honestly, the promotion could really use his charisma and swagger on the main roster right now, so who knows? A return might actually be on the cards.
Veteran superstars always bring a massive fan base with them, which might be the actual reason behind WWE trying to bring back superstars into the company. It will be interesting to see how many of these wrestlers actually return to the promotion in the near future.
