#3 Heath Slater can return for an eventual 3MB reunion

WWE released Heath Slater in April 2020 due to budget cuts stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. He did return for a solitary appearance a few months later, with Dolph Ziggler bringing him back during his WWE Title feud against Drew McIntyre.

Now known as Heath in IMPACT Wrestling, the former leader of 3MB could eventually come back to WWE and bring the band back together. Slater and McIntyre could have a heartwarming reunion, with Jinder Mahal also in the fray.

The two former WWE Champions are both regular figures on WWE television. As long as they remain put in the company, the much-sought-after 3MB reunion may become possible should Heath Slater return.


#2 WWE producer Jason Jordan - American Alpha

Another superstar who was forced to retire due to a neck injury, Jason Jordan, has not wrestled since Royal Rumble 2018. If he can return, though, we would likely see one of the most popular tag teams from the past few years — American Alpha — back together.

Jordan's illegitimate son storyline with Kurt Angle stunted the team's momentum as he and Chad Gable were unable to fulfill their potential together. The two had some excellent matches on NXT and SmackDown, particularly against FTR (f.k.a. The Revival).

Should Jason Jordan be cleared to return, American Alpha would be a major boost to any tag team division. It would be better than Gable's current tandem alongside Otis.
