If the ongoing WWE returns are anything to suggest then the superstars have been enjoying a honeymoon period under Triple H’s leadership. The ongoing era is far easy-going for the WWE employees in comparison to the era ruled by Vince McMahon and Johnny Laurinaitis that ended in the summer of 2022.
Since then, the trend of WWE returns continue to unfold on weekly as well as premium live event programming, every now and then. Triple H has always wanted to add depth to the main roster and hence, he reportedly has the desire to re-sign the bright talents who were once let go by the company in the name of COVID-19 budget cut releases.

If the recent reports are any indications then more WWE returns are incoming as Triple H is looking forward to bringing back former NXT superstars who never got the chance to flourish on the main roster. Dave Meltzer has reported on Wrestling Observer Newsletter that he alongside the creative team is keeping a keen eye on the free agent market.
They failed to get recent AEW signees, Renee Paquette and Saraya but that isn’t stopping them from regrouping things in a pretty good fashion. Mia Yim and Jonah (fka Bronson Reed of NXT) could also make WWE returns. Additionally, WWE officials had their sights set on offering Matt Taven a contract but he’s since debuted on AEW programming.
According to WrestleVotes, Triple H wants Chelsea Green to make WWE return,
“I’m told another name WWE has a significant interest in bringing back is Chelsea Green. I would think if a deal is offered, it’s for the main roster. Time will tell.”
Chelsea is the real-life wife of Matt Cardona (fka Zack Ryder in WWE) and hence he could also be back on WWE TV. Chelsea made her official WWE main roster debut on SmackDown in November 2020. Unfortunately, she broke her wrist that night and subsequently got released from the company in April 2021.
Former NXT Champion Bo Dallas could also be on the list of WWE returns in the near future. He is speculated to join his real-life brother Bray Wyatt’s Wyatt 6 faction.
