Fans are anxiously awaiting several big WWE returns, including stars out of action due to injury to others who rumored to be returning.
From returning veterans who are looking to make their final mark in WWE to iconic pairs currently in TNA Wrestling – there are a lot of fan favorites that may be tapped to return to the company.
Here are six WWE returns that could be coming soon.
Brie Bella
Who is ready for the return of Brie Mode?!
With the recent return to WWE TV of Nikki Bella – it stands to reason that perhaps Brie Bella isn’t far behind.
While Nikki’s first in-ring segment interrupted by one half of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Liv Morgan, it seemed even more possible that the end result of the feud will be a tag team battle.
With WWE planned to host Evolution 2 on July 13, it seems totally possible that there will be some twin magic in WWE again sometime very soon.

Ilja Dragunov
It still hasn’t been confirmed exactly when fans may expect to see the return of Ilja Dragunov with reports that he has been training at the Performance Center.
The Mad Dragon has been out of WWE action since he suffered a torn ACL during a house show match with GUNTHER in September 2024.
With outside projections of his return readiness looking more like Fall and other reports noting he could be back soon – there remains a hanging detail of an unknown addition to the King of the Ring tournament.
Perhaps set to host the surprise return of Ilja Dragunov, it would be a great surprise return!

Goldberg
While Goldberg has returned to WWE in the past – this time he has stated that it is for an official retirement match.
Although WWE hasn’t made the announcement official, Goldberg has made the media rounds where he has revealed that he will be having a retirement match in WWE this Summer.
Since his last appearance in WWE featured a contemptuous on-screen exchange with GUNTHER, it seems possible that the legend could be returning to challenge the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
With speculation already pointing to Goldberg making a WWE Raw return as early as June 16, it seems that we will find out who’s next very soon.

Paige
Before even departing AEW, Saraya confirmed in an interview that when she was a free agent, she would love to return to WWE.
Now that the star is a free agent, it would be incredible to see her make a return to WWE and to her former on-screen character, Paige.
With Paige having been a serious player in the history of the WWE Women’s Division, it would be particularly nice to see her make an appearance at Evolution 2.
With her previous experience holding on-screen roles as a host and general manager, it would make complete sense to see Paige return to WWE.

The Iinspiration
After taking time off to start families, both Jessica McKay and Cassie Lee are back – reuniting as a tag team and recently making a big return.
Surprising the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champions Ash by Elegance and Heather by Elegance recently with a challenge – it seems the pair of former WWE stars could definitely be also headed for future appearances in WWE.
Given the on-going partnership between WWE and TNA, not only could the Iinspiration pop up on NXT, perhaps they could even be included in a big upcoming event.
With WWE set for Evolution 2 on July 13, it would be truly iconic to see The Iinspiration return for the event celebrating women’s wrestling.

Matt & Jeff Hardy
Although they have already appeared on an episode of WWE NXT, there continues to be buzz that perhaps Matt and Jeff Hardy – The Hardy Boyz – are poised to make a main roster return in 2025 as well.
Reportedly signed to TNA Wrestling until November 2025, there has been speculation that Matt and Jeff Hardy could still return to WWE in advance of that time for a program given the partnership between WWE and TNA wrestling.
One intriguing SummerSlam possibility would be the first-time meeting of the New Day and the Hardy Boyz – however the notion became a bit more interesting as of recent developments.
With rumors noting that Jey Uso is poised to reunite with Jimmy Uso since losing the World title, perhaps there will be a final showdown between three of the greatest tag teams in history to determine who from WWE reigns supreme.
