WHO'S NEXT?

We've seen Rhino return (even though he's been in NXT off and on) to Smackdown! Live, Jinder Mahal returned to RAW. I am happy to hear that both Shelton Benjamin and MVP are set to make their returns soon as well. Which of course leaves the question of "Who's Next?". No, that wasn't necessarily a hint at Goldberg making a his way back into the WWE. Although he could be good for one last short run leading into Wrestlemania for a Hall Of Fame induction and a final match. But, who else would be able to reemerge in the WWE Universe? Or at least, who would I like to see make an attempt. They would be...

Kurt Angle

How much longer does the Olympic gold medalist have in a squared circle? I would like to see him finish up in the WWE, where he belongs. Similar to that of Goldberg, I would go with a short run leading into a Wrestlemania. But, I would like to see him mentor American Alpha before and/or after he's finished in the ring. The amateur wrestling is the obvious connection, but I also see the same slight quirkiness in them that Kurt had when he debuted.

Victoria, Gail Kim, and/or Mickie James

Rumor mills have Melina making a comeback, which is gross imo, especially when former stars like Victoria, Gail, and Mickie are still around and able to go. Better wrestlers and way less baggage backstage. Not only that, but they can help out the ladies who still aren't as good as the rest (Eva Marie, Alicia Fox, etc).

Ken Kennedy (Ken Anderson)

Like many, Ken had some bad things to say about his former employer but that is borderline cliche anymore so it can be overlooked. Personally, I would like to see his make his return. There would be a huge pop after the lights cut out, spotlight shines, mic drops as we see Mr. Kennedy standing there about to introduce himself. A match with Randy Orton would be likely given he was part of the focus in Ken's tirades. Could book it similar to that of Edge and Matt Hardy when Lita made the "switch".

Carlito

Given his brother and cousin are no longer Matadors, it would make for a good fit as a trio to face the likes of The New Day, The Wyatts, etc. Not sure of his situation, like many wellness policy stuff was his downfall, but if all clean like to see some apple being spit into the face of people who don't want to be cool.

A.J. Lee

A long shot, but given the current state of the WWE Womens Division she would fit in perfectly with an abundance of actual talent in the ring. And of course it would mean there is a person in the company to make it appealing for CM Punk coming back...likely never, but one can dream.
