Sasha Banks and Naomi, along with several other Superstars, are speculated to be returning to WWE.
The Boss and Glow walked out of the company earlier this year over reported creative differences. They surrendered the Women's Tag Team Championships to John Laurinaitis and walked out of RAW. Vince McMahon's recent retirement, The Game taking creative control, and surprise returns during Summerslam have fueled rumors of their potential return.
Dutch Mantell recently made an appearance on the Tru Heel Heat podcast. He mentioned that Banks and Naomi could consider returning to the company with Triple H managing the creative team.
He even mentioned that Bryan Danielson could evaluate his next move after his AEW contract comes to an end:
"I think when Triple H took over, a lot of people reevaluated their opinion about the ability of WWE," said Mantell. "I think we may see Sasha Banks back maybe, I don't know. But if I'm getting $30,000 a signing, I may wanna stay with that I think. And Naomi, I think you might see her back. I think you may see Bryan Danielson, I don't know what his contract is in AEW."

Mantell feels Vince McMahon was stonewalling WWE talent
During the conversation, Mantell stated that several WWE talents may have been creatively stifled with Vince McMahon in charge.
He mentioned that with the former CEO out of the way, several talents could consider returning to the company:
"I think you had a lot of guys change their minds. If Vince was stonewalling them all this time, that was their biggest obstacle. Now that he's out of the way, I think they might be willing to talk and negotiate a little more," he added. (From 27:03 - 27:22)
Mantell went on to say that Vince was the reason for making WWE successful. He also stated that having new blood in the form of Triple H leading the creative process would be best for the business. He reiterated that The Cerebral Assassin would bring in new ideas for the product.
