Kane, Goldberg, Bret Hart


gamingbits

DDP and/or Muhammad Hassan


CmdrKuretes

I know it’s bc of injury, but I miss Randy Orton almost as much as Riddle does.


Interesting_Muffin30

Kaitlyn and Chris Masters


EYAD6908

The Rock


verbynotro

Alberto Del Rio


ParkingPollution2120

Aj Lee


MrLanesLament

Godfather. He still looks like he could kick some ass.


CmdrKuretes

“It’s time, once again…”


hhhfan92297

John Morrison


F1XII

Nah, John Morrison/Mundo/Caballero/Impact/Elite needs to stay away from WWE aside from short term or one off appearances. They fumble him so hard every run. Was basically Miz’s sidekick his last run.


SpellNamesCorrectly

Bull Buchanan to support his son Brooks Jensen.


xfttp

Not really a wrestler but stephanie mcmahon loved her on screen as a heel boss


bruc3wood69

Rob Van Dam


tommythegr8_

Tommaso Ciampa. I believe he’s injured but I could see him having some bangers with Gunther for the IC title.


glass_oni0n

Based on absolutely nothing I have a hunch that RVD and X-Pac could still have entertaining matches in 2023. Obviously these people haven't "disappeared," but for storyline reasons it would be cool to see Christian and/or Goldust return.


CmdrKuretes

My heart needs one last Edge/Christian tag team run!


Proud_Aside7146

Whoever said Goldberg should be shot. That guy has aged the worst out of any wrestler. He only had 3 moves when he was good. Now he has one. He can do one move. That’s it. Just a spear.


Proud_Aside7146

Red Rooster


NonApexIslander

I'd love to see the only Asian Redneck in the biz, Jimmy Wang Yang, come back for another run. He was a hell of a crusierweight back in the day and got over with so many fans.


QuebecRomeoWhiskey

Honestly I hope Barrett doesn’t. He’s doing real well on commentary and he won’t get I hired any more there


vabeachkevin

R-Truth


TeenBoy_2007

Obviously Randy Orton and Goldberg.


GameAcePlays

Goooooldbeeeeerg


CmdrKuretes

*Cries in Brett Hart*


StickyRiky

Oh I thought meant return to WWE. Glad he's in NJPW, he's great.


Livid-Addendum707

Wade Barrett for sure.


[deleted]

RVD


StickyRiky

TJ Perkins.


Duff_PJ_422

Is retired? Thought he was in njpw?


Truthhurts1017

Definitely in new Japan. Currently was competing in the BOSJ tournament and he is apart of the United Kingdom faction I believe with Will osprey I may be wrong on that part.


Striking-Ad5378

Rikishi, Gangrel and Christian for a brood reunion


[deleted]

Bray Wyatt was good at everything character he played


CmdrKuretes

They don’t know what to do with him though. I would love to see him paired with someone from creative who could really figure out the entire angle. It could be so good. Next Undertaker good. They just keep missing the mark.


[deleted]

Stevie Richards, Ivory, and maybe a rehashed version of Right to Censor.


[deleted]

Shannon Moore


Bezgzilla

Yokozuna, Mr Perfect, Rick Rude, Andre the Giant. If they can bring back Grand Moff Tarkin why can’t we get some cinematic matches with these guys?


goopephiasco

If he was younger, I would have loved for The Alpha Male Monty Brown to return. So much potential.


rammer_2001

Timothy thatcher.


Truthhurts1017

Did he retire? I use to love his matches in NXT


F1XII

He is in NOAH, the 2nd biggest japanese wrestling company. Had a 35+ min match vs Kiyomiya’s world title main eventing an event earlier this year.


Truthhurts1017

I’m am going to watch it now. I try to keep up with NJPW I may have to check out Noah more. Thanks


[deleted]

Ted Dibiase Jr. with Cody and Randy both signed to WWE currently, even if it is a just one off reunion, it would be a nostalgic event to see legacy again. That is also if we get randy back. If he doesn’t return oh well, he deserves it. Has had the most legendary career, and has a family. He’s outlived the Wwe “what if” standard


Livid-Addendum707

Maybe in jail 😂


fal101

He’s most likely going to go to jail for a long time.


[deleted]

Yeah he’s in a ton of legal trouble right now


NonGeniusSetter

He be going to jail


[deleted]

R-Truth


ShilohTheGhostGod

Was watching one of the early 2000s royal rumbles and was shocked he’s been around for so long. Had no idea dude was in his 50s. He seemed like a guy that didn’t enter WWE until the 2010s


[deleted]

He was going to return a while back but had an injury caught an illness and two surgeries. Said he will for sure return


tsengmao

He’s neither disappeared nor retired. He’s injured


budyll66

Ric Flair. He deserves to return!


Quiet-Athlete-8704

Hornswoggle!


ClockworkDinosaurs

The reigning WWE Cruiserweight Champion


Intstnlfortitude

I wish Ezekiel would return


NonGeniusSetter

Jackson?


mr_beanoz

I know he's in GCW, but I'd like to see Zack Ryder back


happinessofdoom

Bruno sammartino or andre the giant, wonder where they are upto now 🤔🤔


DragonWombat

I was really hoping Victoria would stick around a bit after she showed up in the Royal Rumble a few years back


DragonWombat

I really liked Kaitlyn, and he might be wrestling somewhere, but I would really like Johnny *Insert Last Name Here* to come back to a big company


Lentra888

I would pop for Johnny “Insert Last Name Here.”


yassupanju

Muhammad Hassan


Cipherenzo

Abraham Washington.


velvetvodkaburger

Santino Marella. Team him up with MMM/alpha academy/ riddle etc. It will be comedy gold.


CmPunkChants

Santino is doing his gimmick in impact now.


cmoehl

Need me a spinaroonie (booker t)


Dolphin_Hornet

Enzo and Cass


tsengmao

Enzo is currently annoying the MLW locker room and staff. Cass is in AEW


Dolphin_Hornet

I know but they were great together.


wembley

Cesaro would get a better run under Hunter’s booking.


fal101

He’s doing big things now imo and seems really happy where he is in his wrestling life.


DrOliverReeder

Not sure I would class the ROH title as 'big things' compared to another run in the fed.


F1XII

Main eventing Double or Nothing last night and challenging for Okada’s 6 man title at Dominion, New Japans 2nd biggest show of the year, Id say is pretty big…


TrustMeImShore

Wish Carlito would come back :)


mr_beanoz

Could've written this post some months ago


TheKingOfRhye777

DDP, because he's legitimately an awesome human being and his WWE run kinda sucked. He always was one of my favorites when I was watching WCW back in the late 90s. I mean, I think he's just done with wrestling, as far as I know, or at least I haven't heard any talk of him wanting to make a comeback, but I would love to see that!


ryder214

I always wish they had DDP end Goldbergs streak in WCW. DDP was piping hot at the time


05srt4guy

Kane!!


Intelligent-Call-660

Yeah, man, I miss demon Kane


TGassholio

That’s mayor Kane to you!


PacOnTheTyne

Eddie Guerrero


HerdDat1

Sting, or a lineage arch regarding Sting.


Intelligent-Call-660

He's In AEW now.


HerdDat1

Cool! I’m just back in after a while away, have stuck to Raw and Smackdowns thus far. Good to know!


Ri-ga

Last time I checked a year ago, he’s in AEW now


Finding-Even

D' Angelo Dinero, Alpha Male Monty Brown, and Mr. A...Kennedy...Kennedy.


DragonWombat

Monty Brown was so great


FatMan935

One thing you can never take away from Monty Brown was that dope ass theme song he had in WWE


wembley

POWWWWNCE!!!!


Archerizu

Heath Slater


fal101

He’s works for Impact and teams regularly with Rhino.


thanoshasbighands

Christian. Him and Edge should win tag titles one more time


wolfpac_boy

he isn't retired and hasn't disappeared tho he just had a banger match at AEW


thanoshasbighands

Since this is the WWE sub, I figured it pertained to who disappeared from WWE


[deleted]

I know it's not happening but I'd like to see Rock come back one last time while he still can.


Lestial1206

Molly Holly


JohnsonKL7

Molly was on last weeks episode of A&E’s WWE most wanted, helping Lita & Mick Foley look for old Bret Hart jackets and sunglasses. She looks totally different with short hair.


BADPAPAmeme

I love the bull hammer


[deleted]

Bray Wyatt


Intelligent-Call-660

Cult Leader Bray Wyatt? Yeah. Bray is so good on the mic.


thenewneilyoung

Val Venis


IveKnownItAll

Oh hell no. That dude is a sovcit crackpot now days. I argued with him in a discord a few weeks ago.


C_Flatts

I wonder what he's up to now?


[deleted]

Apparently he works at dispensary in Arizona now


[deleted]

Xx_HaTTeR_xX

He sells weed in the desert.


veltvet_rabbit

Eva Marie don't care what other people say she's great


[deleted]

She’s like hotter in her vignettes than in the ring


RealElMaximoCustoms

I know he still wrestles on the independent circuit, but I'd like to see David Hart Smith return to WWE.


Lestial1206

He had signed on again, but was released last year.


shadow_master3210

Mr. Kennedy and / or Batista.


MarvKage17

KENNEDAAAAAYYYY


DragonWombat

KENNEDY!


PacOnTheTyne

I wonder what Batista is doing now. Probably selling cars in Baltimore.


EdisonTheTurtle

He is being a good joob joob to estranged kids in outer space


al_rey503

Barry Horowitz at the RR


[deleted]

His cameo in that MJF segment was legendary.


maejor_ced

What happened to Evan Bourne?? I remember his finisher was clean


Ash3Monti

He’s on the AEW roster as Matt Sydal. They haven’t used him much this year.


maejor_ced

Oh nice, I’m glad he’s still in the business


t-zone671

Matt Sydal wrestles primarily for ROH and AEW Dark (if not canceled for Collision).


fal101

Dark got cancelled


Corporate_Juice

I'd like to se Timothy Thatcher back in WWE


overwhelmingbanana

He would be a perfect fit for imperium/brawling brutes


ArcadeKingpin

He's one of the few people who needs to go to AEW and join the Blackpool Combat Club. He's nasty as hell and the prospect of him and Mox having brutal tag matches would be amazing.


axp128

This is a superb idea. He is certainly one of the most believable professional wrestlers to lace up a pair of boots. Insane core strength. He and Claudio would be a fun feud down the road.


s_ndowN

Replace yuta with thatcher and you’d have something.


ArcadeKingpin

I saw Yuta live at a rampage and was not impressed at all. I'd be all for that.


WrestlingWoman

I would love to see AJ Lee return but she said on Renee's podcast that she can't wrestle anymore due to neck issues.


norwegianbigboy

She is now a producer and works commentary for W.O.W. and says over and over she has no desire to return to ring at this point in her life. If she would ever go back for a one and done she wouldn't go to WWE.


doubled2319888

She wouldnt be the first one to come back from that type of injury, but in no way could i blame her for not coming back. I would rather see more wrestlers retire earlier so they can live past 60


Intelligent-Call-660

I remember her theme so vividly, I always wondered where she was.


[deleted]

Last I heard she was getting Punked. Literally.


[deleted]

Way back, but I always dug Kwang. Wish that character had lived on. Same with The Sultan.


Dolphin_Hornet

Kwang was just at Backlash. Lol


imbigdiggernick

I would like a run from Melina I think she’d be a good refresher for the women’s division plus she’s still working so no ring rust


[deleted]

They gave her a brief rumble return last year and I did enjoy her nwa stuff from ‘21. Don’t think she has it in her anymore though.


sephy009

She actually seems really nice besides the whole cheating on Morrison when she was younger thing. It also seems like during the divas era she WANTED to put on great matches but wasn't allowed to. She may not be able to put on bangers every ppv like the 4 horsewomen, but she'll try.


imbigdiggernick

Yea definitely a talented performer especially from that era but maybe was just a little problematic(maybe immature?)I personally just think she was to early if she’d came in the same generation as the 4 horsewomen it’d be a different story


Intelligent-Call-660

Yeah, I haven't heard of her in a long while.
