Top five former stars who could return & retire in WWE

With Vince McMahon’s departure from his role as chairman and CEO of WWE has sent shockwaves throughout the wrestling world. McMahon’s creative direction has long been a topic of debate among fans and wrestlers alike, with many feeling that his vision sometimes hindered the development of certain performers.

With McMahon stepping down, there’s a sense of anticipation and hope for creative change within the company, which could potentially entice some former WWE superstars to make a return.

Over the past few years, WWE has seen a significant number of departures, with well over 100 wrestlers being released from their contracts since 2020. While McMahon’s involvement in each individual release varies, some wrestlers may have felt that their potential was stifled under his leadership.

With WWE now under the leadership of CEO Nick Khan, there’s the possibility of a new direction for the company, one that could offer more opportunities for talent to thrive.

In this article, we’ll explore five former WWE superstars who could potentially return to the company, especially with Vince McMahon’s retirement paving the way for new creative possibilities.

5. Rhino

Known for his brute strength and imposing presence, Rhino was a formidable force during his time in WWE. While he may have left the company to explore other opportunities, the prospect of a revamped WWE under new leadership could entice him to make a return. With his veteran status and undeniable talent, Rhino could bring renewed energy to the WWE roster.

4. Matt Hardy

Matt Hardy is no stranger to WWE fans, having enjoyed success both as a singles competitor and as one half of the iconic Hardy Boyz tag team. While he has explored other ventures outside of WWE in recent years, the prospect of a fresh start under new leadership could be appealing to Hardy.

His innovative approach to storytelling and willingness to evolve could make him a valuable asset to WWE once again.

3. Dustin Rhodes aka Golddust

Goldust, also known as Dustin Rhodes, is a wrestling veteran with a wealth of experience in the industry. His unique character and in-ring ability have made him a fan favourite over the years.

With Vince McMahon’s departure opening up new possibilities for creative direction, Goldust may see an opportunity to return to WWE and leave a lasting legacy before retiring from the ring.

2. Santino Marella

Santino Marella’s comedic antics and lovable persona made him a standout performer during his time in WWE. While he may have stepped away from the ring to pursue other interests, the opportunity to return to WWE and entertain fans once again could be too tempting to resist.

With Vince McMahon’s departure potentially signalling a shift in creative direction, Marella could find a new lease on his wrestling career in WWE.

1. Sting

Sting is already retired but it was in AEW. And fans really hope to see one final time in WWE leaving the banter to young superstars.

With his return there can be a peculiar storyline, which can even bring the Creative Head of WWE, Triple H back inside the ring. Let’s hope we get to see Sting one day.
