3 Superstars Who Might Return At Summerslam Or In Its Aftermath

The WWE Universe is all hyped up for Summerslam and fans are already coming up with theories, predictions, and ideas. However, there is one thing that the WWE always considers in order to build up the excitement among the audience- Superstar returns!

Summerslam is one of the biggest pay-per-view events and WWE has always pulled out all the stops to create a show that would leave the fans asking for more. The Summerslam storylines as well are built up in a manner of creating new storylines or bring something back. We can say that WWE has been able to put up some extremely well-designed match cards (except for Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar of course. We all wanted Lashley in Roman's place!)

As a result of the developments, the WWE universe has been anticipating the return of a few superstars. If we were to take a look at the storylines that have been shaped to create the match card at Summerslam, we can clearly say that there might be hints at possible returns. Keeping that in mind, here we take a look at 3 superstars who could potentially return at Summerslam or at the most, its aftermath.

#3 Charlotte Flair

The 'Queen of pay-per-view' better return in time for the 'Biggest party of the summer'

Charlotte Flair has been on a hiatus after suffering a legitimate injury after dropping her title to Carmella. While it might make more sense for some that she makes her return at the Evolution pay-per-view, it would be in her best interests if she makes a surprise return at Summerslam. Taking into account her star power, it would be legitimate if the WWE creative decides to use her strategically and put her in a meaningful position by her sudden return.

Charlotte recently uploaded a picture on her twitter account with the caption 'Whatever it takes'. While this might be considered to be another post, we might as well interpret it as a sign of her desperately trying to make it on time for Summerslam. Also, if rumors are to be believed, she is supposed to be ready for a return by the first week of August. This leaves time for her to return at Summerslam and create an impact.

Picture this, Carmella would be up to her antics once again to secure a win over Becky Lynch and it would make sense if Charlotte returns all of a sudden to turn the tables in Becky's favor. Not only would the WWE universe be ecstatic on seeing Becky Lynch secure the title again, it could also set the stage for a storyline involving The Queen and The Irish Lasskicker.

#2 Dean Ambrose

The return of the lunatic fringe could create a huge excitement among the fans

Taking into account how Seth Rollins has been booked at a disadvantage against Dolph Ziggler with the massively destructive Drew McIntyre at ringside, he might turn to his former shield brother for back up. At a recent interview in an after the Raw segment, Seth Rollins stated that he is concerned about the presence of Drew McIntyre at ringside and he needs to do something about him. Although Seth Rollins did not disclose his plans, he did say he will dive back into his 'old bag of tricks'. Now, in this case, Seth Rollins needs to even the odds against him and it would make sense that the WWE brought back Dean Ambrose as his back up.

Dean Ambrose took a hiatus following a legitimate injury in the December of 2017 and if his updates are to be believed, he was estimated to have recovered by a period of six months. Also, taking into account the rumors and updates, he might return anytime. It is up to the WWE to consider how to bring him back. However, we can see WWE keeping mum regarding his return dates. this leaves room for us to believe that there is something big in store for him.

#1 Rey Mysterio

The Return of Rey Mysterio is much speculated

The WWE has already aired Vignettes hinting at the return of one of the greatest underdogs ever. However, what remains to be seen is how the WWE decides to bring him back. Rey Mysterio is still in great shape as we have already seen in his brief appearance at Royal Rumble. As such, his return is much anticipated if not in the Summerslam as a huge surprise, possible in the aftermath.

Taking into account the news from various sources, Rey Mysterio has most probably signed a contract with WWE which begins on the August. Now this leaves room for speculation regarding his exact return date and how the WWE decides to use him. As such, given the magnitude of star power that Mysterio has, the WWE might consider bringing him back at Summerslam.
