5 WWE Superstars who could return to the ring in 2020

Well, it’s WrestleMania season and we’ve already seen several returns in WWE. The Royal Rumble pay-per-view saw the return of the Rated R-Superstar Edge who returned to the ring after 9 long years of absence. He wanted to end his career on his own terms, and now, he will.

These types of returns excite the fans and keep the product engaging. With Edge's shocking arrival, we're all hoping that he's not the only one to come back to the company on the Road to WrestleMania.

While we don’t know which wrestler Vince McMahon might bring next, we can at least speculate the future. With that being said, here are 5 WWE Superstars returns we’ve been waiting to see in 2020. As always, let us know your thoughts about these predicted returns in the comment section below.

Note: We are talking about in-ring returns, rather than on-screen appearances.

#5 Triple H

Triple H hasn't wrestled a single televised match in WWE since losing to Randy Orton at Super ShowDown last year. He is devoting most of his time in NXT; improving the product quality and providing great content to the fans. This is one of the reasons why The Game hasn't wrestled in over 8 months.

Recently, Dave Meltzer updated the wrestling fans with the current WrestleMania 36 lineup. He revealed that Triple H isn't going to wrestle at the show, something we predicted weeks ago in one of the features.

Another note is that as of the most recent lineup, HHH is not scheduled to wrestle on the show, nor is Bill Goldberg or Ronda Rousey.

Some fans have started to miss Triple H in the ring, though. If the company knows this, then they'll try their best to book the King of Kings in a match. Perhaps, he would return as part of the NXT crew rather than as a main roster performer.

#4 Ronda Rousey

Ever since losing the RAW Women’s Championship to Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 35, Ronda Rousey has been on the sidelines. She has taken a break from wrestling, first due to an injury and then for personal reasons. However, it’s been rumored for a long time that she’s planning for a comeback. Triple H has spoken about the same and, according to him, Rousey is very excited to return to the ring once again.

Many fans speculated that Ronda Rousey could return to WWE in 2020 and continue her feud with Becky Lynch, which never truly ended. But it seems like Triple H and Co. want Shayna Baszler to face Lynch at the WrestleMania instead.

Rousey is still contracted to WWE until 2021, which indicates that she will return to the company this year -- for building a WrestleMania match. Who knows, she might even return at ‘Mania 36 and cost Lynch her precious title. This will rekindle their rivalry and both women could continue to feud over the fall. They have some unfinished business left, after all.

#3 The Rock

The Rock quietly retired from wrestling in 2019. Though inactive, the former WWE Champion is still a worldwide attraction in the wrestling industry. Ever since stepping foot in the acting industry, Rock has been busy with his hectic schedule. He doesn’t have a lot of free time for other projects and that includes wrestling as well -- the thing he’s passionate about.

A dream match between The Rock and Roman Reigns has been in talks for years. Both Superstars were speculated to have a face-off at WrestleMania, but it hasn’t happened as of yet. If Roman Reigns defeats The Fiend at the Shows of Shows this year and becomes the new Universal Champion, Vince McMahon could bring The Rock back to WWE. He can have a final feud in WWE against his cousin Reigns which would end with him losing the match and then hanging up his boots forever in front of the WWE Universe.

This is why we have put The Rock in this list. A match between him and Reigns at next year’s WrestleMania seems probable.

#2 John Cena

John Cena is announced for the February 27 edition of Friday Night SmackDown. The show’s right after Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia. We know that Cena is going to return for WrestleMania 36 this year. But nobody knows which role he’ll play there. The former WWE Champion hasn’t had a match in WWE since January 2019 where he lost to Finn Balor.

Although Cena hasn’t missed ‘Mania so far, he wants to do something extraordinary this year. The pay-per-view will happen in Tampa (where he currently resides in) and what could Cena do to make it memorable for years to come? Perhaps make his in-ring return in a great fashion? Fans want to see him!

Reportedly, Cena will face Elias at WrestleMania. Perhaps this is why he’s set to appear on SmackDown. However, we’ve already seen this match several times in WWE. At ‘Mania, two years ago, both wrestlers tussled it out in an unofficial match before The Undertaker showed up. WWE should use Cena against another talent so that he could put him over.

#1 CM Punk

WWE Backstage analyst CM Punk is currently working under the FOX banner and although he isn’t technically a WWE wrestler, he’s still associated with the company in some capacity. Punk's last WWE match happened in 2014 - at the Royal Rumble - whereafter he got fired a few months later on his wedding day. Later, Punk retired from wrestling and has stuck to his decision so far.

However, fans believe that there’s still something that could bring Punk back to WWE. It’s not just about the money - he’s already a millionaire - WWE could offer something more. Punk always wanted to headline WrestleMania. He’s still a popular wrestling figure and fans wouldn’t mind seeing him at the main event, so this is probable. Additionally, WWE could also promise more creative freedom to CM Punk, which is something that would definitely grab his attention.
