Seth Rollins and 4 Superstars Who Could Return to WWE Soon

The element of surprise has always been the heartbeat of WWE, but the biggest surprises come when superstars make dramatic returns to the programming. The arena erupts, the crowd goes into a frenzy and the atmosphere instantly becomes electric. Fans have already witnessed two major returns over the past two days, with Bronson Reed and Bayley making their highly anticipated comebacks.

However, it looks like the wave of returns may not be over yet, as some other notable names could be gearing up for their homecoming. One of the prominent names on the list Seth Rollins. WWE is currently in the final stretch of 2026 and major PLEs like Money in the Bank are approaching. Fans could witness a flurry of returns over the next few weeks or months that could shake up the landscape.

Here are five superstars who can return to the company soon:

#5. Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre has been away from WWE since WrestleMania 42 as he found himself involved in several Hollywood projects. The Scottish Warrior missed SummerSlam this year as he was involved in the shooting of the movie The Last Druid. However, reports suggest that the filming for this project was wrapped up last month and this probably sets McIntyre free. The former WWE Champion could be gearing up for a potential return in the next few weeks.

The Stamford-based promotion has several major events lined up for the next few months, including Money in the Bank, Survivor Series, Crown Jewel and Wrestlepalooza. Therefore, the creative team would try to bring Drew McIntyre back to the programming as soon as possible. His highly anticipated return would immediately reinject intensity into the main event picture, paving the way for some blockbuster feuds and storylines.

#4. Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins is one of the prominent superstars whose WWE return seems almost on the horizon. The Visionary has been away from television since competing against Roman Reigns at SummerSlam. His absence has left a huge void of a top star on Monday Night RAW. However, WrestleVotes recently reported that Rollins is expected to be back in the fold very soon.

Money in the Bank is just a month away and WWE needs its top stars on the card. Seth Rollins has been a staple of every major premium live event in recent years, making his involvement necessary for the upcoming spectacle. The Visionary could return to Monday Night RAW next week or the week after that and get involved in the build for Money in the Bank 2026.

#3. WWE star AJ Lee

AJ Lee is one of the biggest and most-talked-about names in WWE. Her last appearance came at WrestleMania 42, where she competed against Becky Lynch in a high-profile match. Since then, Lee has preferred to remain away from the wrestling realm. But it looks like she could make her return soon. While WWE may not bring her back immediately, The Black Widow could come back in November around the time of Survivor Series.

Rumors have been swirling that she could be a part of the Women’s WarGames match this year. Survivor Series is one of the Big Four PLEs and Triple H leaves no stone unturned to add grandeur to it. AJ Lee returning would represent a monumental moment for the women’s division. Her name continues to carry immense nostalgic weight and reverence among fans. Besides, reports stated that Lee is not yet done with her in-ring career.

#2. Montez Ford & #1. Angelo Dawkins

Two other superstars who could return to the programming soon are Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins. The Street Profits completely disappeared from the scene after losing the World Tag Team Championship. However, Monday Night RAW has been struggling with a dearth of credible tag teams lately. Ford and Dawkins bring an electrifying intensity that no other team can match.

The Street Profits are one of the most explosive and charismatic tag teams on the current roster. WWE is expected to bring them back soon and inject them into a blockbuster storyline. A full-fledged return to television would instantly energize the RAW tag team division. Moreover, it would open up the possibilities of the World Tag Team Championship rotating from one team to another.
