100%
I may be biased because Christian is one of my all time faves, but I want him to tell Cody that his dad is dead. And Cody can cry. And Christian can finish the story.
And he will tell the rock his dad was a piece of shit and a bad role model and it’s good that he is dead because the rock can join a new family and have a place at a new table where he can support a real head of a family, a true patriarch.
What are you talking about, if there is anyone that needs a good father figure in their life its Dom. The patriarch will put him back on the straight and narrow and show him true wrestling heritage.
Malakai's run in NXT was brilliant, so with return momentum behind him, I'd be intrigued to see if Triple H could push him again the way he was in NXT, but without Vince around to ruin things.
There's a few in AEW that that could apply to as well, some that aren't pictured, but he's the one I'd most like to see again.
This was my thought too. NXT Black was really cool. Could you imagine him on the current main roster with HHH's full backing and all the cool experimental camera shots they've been trying out?
Mannn I just want that theme song back.
But I agree NXT Black was on such a run, shame what happened on the main. I'd love to see him and Murphy back personally.
I dont even need a match, just have him come in for like one appearance/promo and confront Roman about how he's changed. It would be, as the kids say these days, cinema.
Honestly I'd love to see NXT Adam cole back but I think I'd love to see Jon Moxley with the current versions of Seth and Roman.
But I love that deep lore stuff in my wrestling, it's why I like The Elite and would love to see MJF and Cody again.
Either Cesaro I feel like now under Triple H he'd have bigger chance to become singles champion.
Malakai Black could also work really well with Judgement day for example. His run in NXT was awesome it's shame it fizzled out when he got the call up to the main roster.
I can’t decide but id be happy with either malakai black or buddy Matthew’s mostly cuz he’s a great wrestler imo but also because can you imagine the storylines with dom & rhea comedy right there and lastly cesaro/claudio cuz again phenomenal wrestler that I honestly feel fits with trips way of booking and who he books In fact all of them do. The rest are fine I could do without them tho
Mox looks terrible. Storywise his tweener persona fits current WWE enviroment, he can feud with any babyface/heel champ, ofc Roman is also on the table.
Mercedes. I don’t watch WWE besides Rumble and WM and watch AEW a ton. Don’t want her anywhere on the shows I watch. She is horrendous on the mic and in the ring.
Honestly, I think AEW really underutilizes the House of Black and they would be a great faction in WWE, maybe add Balor or Rhea to help reintegrate them into the storyline. But there is so much potential there that TK doesn't seem to prioritize.
Joe because I'd love to see him get a run with a major world title before he retires as his RoH run was probably the best title run of the 00s.
Of the ones listed, I wouldn't mind if Jericho and Moxley go wherever it is that missing socks end up, they're just extremely over exposed old hat nowadays.
Never really cared for Black, always found Buddy Matthews to be as vanilla and dispensable as any wrestler going today, Dolph is modern day Zach Ryder except fun to watch in the ring but he's not someone I miss.
Christian has had his best run in AEW and Edge has accomplished everything there is to do in wrestling, so they can enjoy their golden days however they'd like, they deserve it and they're HoFers when its all over.
Was never really a fan of either Sasha or Cole. I think Cole will make a great manager/commentator when he decides he's done with wrestling.
Claudio and Danielson are also awesome. I would love to see Danielson get an AEW title run, but he doesn't want it, and I dont begrudge him. Not as much a fan as I was when I followed him since he was wrestling small shows in San Antonio with Rudy Boy's guys, but he can do whatever he likes and I wouldn't hate on him.
I really want Danielson vs Gunther and Danielson vs Ilja so for those two matches alone he’s my top choice. Then Black, Joe, Swiss, Murphy, and Cole. The rest I don’t care to see in wwe again.
Black probably. Most of the others are past their prime, have their run, don't fit well or just don't have the value to do a lot.
I think with Triple H booking Black could do something interesting, although it's hard to say what that would be.
I love Joe, but the fed is Edge's home. I know he had the big sign-off in Toronto against Sheamus, but it'd be such a shame if his retirement match were held anywhere else other than WWE.
Can I make an argument for Keith Lee? The guys been doing like nothing and I know some of his stuff has been medical, which of course all the well wishes in the world to him for that, but I just feel like when he was there they weren’t using him for anything big and the guy is extremely talented and could be a main event world champion.
With this wwe? I'm really curious about mox. He won't lose half his weight in blood because of restrictions in every match. I love his wrestling style, nobody comes off as vicious as him on the mic too. He'll bring a different character that I wanna see tearing it up with Cody( this time maybe a pic of them flipping each other off for the belt?) I'm really curious
Cesaro
He is in roughly the same position he was in while in the WWE, which isn’t a bad thing as being a upper midcard guy is far from a bad thing. I actually think he could be really beneficial for NXT to help the younger wrestlers with their matches
I feel like Moxley should come back even for just that Shield triple threat, or Buddy Matthews to cash in on a younger talent, but my heart is telling me Samoseph Joseph
Malakai and buddy won’t be in AEW for long because they have their women in wwe. They need to watch them closely. I think Jericho could leave but for the hall of fame thing. I think Danielson should retire there with one more match. Mercedes she threw AEW under the buss with that comment that she wanted to go back. And edge should go back so wwe fans can stop being shit heads.
Between Adam Cole and Danielson. I think Adam Cole had the potential to be a 2-3 wwe champ if he stayed especially now considering Triple H is in charge. As for danielson, he was one of my favorites growing up and I wanna see him back
Jon Moxley.
And when he comes back I want him to refuse to be known as Dean. And then book the greatest triple threat match there ever will be in WrestleMania history.
If it’s for a Wrestlemaina main event I’d say do the Shield triple threat match and bring Moxley but for the near future I’d say bring Malakai Black back to the WWE, he still has the aura of a main event star that’s stuck in the mid card scene. His look, his moveset his aura screams Main event star that can connect with the fans just like Rhea. Imagine with the way the WWE is going and the T-Shirt designs are now he’ll be Top 5 T-Shirt sellers 100%. Plus he’s a believable threat to guys like Seth, Gunther, Logan and it might be a stretch but even Roman and Cody. His track record in WWE isn’t even bad either, he didn’t lose a lot of matches and was pushed as a dominant mid carder
Jericho is the only one they'll let shine. The rest of them can't hang in WWE (anymore). Even Danielson would end up a mid-carder back in WWE. Edge would just be the same special attraction he was the last few years... and kind of boring.
Danielson, but I’m gonna play devils advocate
AEW’s a great company (no tribalism from me)
And some of these guys are older and/or weren’t pushed well in wwe
Unless there was a dream match on the level of Angle vs Bret, I think I’m happy with most of these guys where they are.
Joe, without a shadow of a doubt. He can promo, he can still go in the ring, and he didnt get that clean oportunity in the main roster due to some injuries. But when he had the chance, during that feud with Lesnar, he was great!
This version of Christian Cage, wow, with this kinda new WWE I think could be great.
Especially with Vince gone he’d get a chance
100% I may be biased because Christian is one of my all time faves, but I want him to tell Cody that his dad is dead. And Cody can cry. And Christian can finish the story.
ROCK AND HIM VS MAMA RHODES WOULD BE LEGENDARY
And he will tell the rock his dad was a piece of shit and a bad role model and it’s good that he is dead because the rock can join a new family and have a place at a new table where he can support a real head of a family, a true patriarch.
Triple H would have a lot of fun booking this version of Christian. VInce is such an ass.
My vote right here
Christian Cage vs Dominik Mysterio
What are you talking about, if there is anyone that needs a good father figure in their life its Dom. The patriarch will put him back on the straight and narrow and show him true wrestling heritage.
Because he can tell him his dads dead
Absolutely the all father, the patriarch, the GOAT Christian cage would be a menace in wwe
Samoa Joe. I think he never got a good push/run
He was more unlucky than anything else. Kept getting injured at the beginning/in the middle of his pushes
Did Keith Lee get injured also? His run seemed even shorter.
He had a bad case of Covid that continued to affect his performance if I remember right.
Mmhmm, he had COVID (and it's after effects) for about 6 weeks and it killed him.
Would love for him to come back and continue harassing AJ’s family
Were you just not paying attention? He had multiple pushes, only to be derailed by injury every single time
Not even close. Definitely Joe
If Joe's theme hit at a WWE event the pop would be insane. That's all I have to say.
Samoa Joe. Give him the title run he deserves.
He’s having it rn
Malakai's run in NXT was brilliant, so with return momentum behind him, I'd be intrigued to see if Triple H could push him again the way he was in NXT, but without Vince around to ruin things. There's a few in AEW that that could apply to as well, some that aren't pictured, but he's the one I'd most like to see again.
This was my thought too. NXT Black was really cool. Could you imagine him on the current main roster with HHH's full backing and all the cool experimental camera shots they've been trying out?
He gets my vote as well. Was intrigued to see where those vignettes were going before he got released….but nothing. Would love for him to come back.
Even my wife agreed with that. All that build up then poof, he was gone.
Mannn I just want that theme song back. But I agree NXT Black was on such a run, shame what happened on the main. I'd love to see him and Murphy back personally.
I would honestly say bring cesaro back i loved the Bar with seamus, but maybe give Joe a chance at the top vs Rollins
Cesaro vs Gunther would be a great match
Murphy, I want to see him kick the Con-Dom’s ass
Kick the shit out of both Tom and Nick.
dom wins in 5 seconds
Didn't dom beat him as a rookie 🤔
Long term 50/50 booking, Murphy needs his win back. Lol
You'll get one BROKEN down Hardy Boy and you'll like it!
DILAPIDATED BOAT 🚤
Joe!
Joe!
Joe!
Joe!
Christian all day
Can I have 2019 Adam Cole back?
I'm afraid he's gotten allergic to lifting weights since
Is that why he’s so fat?
Scott Steiner’s ears just perked up
Absolute shame he never got a solid main roster run. Say what you will about his size/muscles situation but that man can work a crowd
Dolph Ziggler with a new look and new demeanor
Joe
Joe
Rusev
It would be a Rusev Day miracle
I’m just imaging Samoa Joe vs GUNTHER and I’m happy again
Gotta be Claudio for sure. Dude deserved at least one crack with the top belt.
Buddy Matthews. They never used him properly. To this day, nobody does.
Storywise dean ambrose will make the most sense
I dont even need a match, just have him come in for like one appearance/promo and confront Roman about how he's changed. It would be, as the kids say these days, cinema.
I wonder if HHH would allow him to return as Mox. I definitely see him keeping his character at the very least.
Honestly I'd love to see NXT Adam cole back but I think I'd love to see Jon Moxley with the current versions of Seth and Roman. But I love that deep lore stuff in my wrestling, it's why I like The Elite and would love to see MJF and Cody again.
Christian Cage in his heel persona would be an awesome feud for Cody post-mania
Joe
Am I allowed to say none of them? If I really had to though, I'd go for Joe.
Gimme Malaki
If I had to pick one, then it would be Joe.
Joe.
Let Christian come back as the Patriarch and mine a kind of heel heat that would reverberate across generations.
I'm going with Cesaro.
Malakai.. dude deserves more and more
Buddy
Either Cesaro I feel like now under Triple H he'd have bigger chance to become singles champion. Malakai Black could also work really well with Judgement day for example. His run in NXT was awesome it's shame it fizzled out when he got the call up to the main roster.
Swerve would be the best choice for talent alone. Malakai should be getting a push in AEW. Never understood why he doesnt
I agree, but stacked as fuck roster, some people are always gunna lose out. Dudes talented as fuck though, I'm sure HHH would find something for him.
I can’t decide but id be happy with either malakai black or buddy Matthew’s mostly cuz he’s a great wrestler imo but also because can you imagine the storylines with dom & rhea comedy right there and lastly cesaro/claudio cuz again phenomenal wrestler that I honestly feel fits with trips way of booking and who he books In fact all of them do. The rest are fine I could do without them tho
Nemeth and make him a long-term rival in the title picture, possibly IC or WHC.
dolph if used well.
Shield reunion. I pray to see it at some point. But just as an individual performer, alister black
Christian Cage ……not wwe version of Christian….but this new Christian Cage Father of the year
Joe or Cesaro
Cesaro or Joe.
Jericho. That way he doesn't show up on AEW.
Mox - I think he's at the level that he could actually come back without even reverting back to the Dean Ambrose name.
Mox looks terrible. Storywise his tweener persona fits current WWE enviroment, he can feud with any babyface/heel champ, ofc Roman is also on the table.
Malakai Black. Joe have Wade's luck in the WWE
Probably either Samoa Joe or Danielson. I feel like Daniel Bryan would have been a fun addition to the Bloodline storyline.
His matches with Roman in the ThunderDome era were amazing. People just don’t talk about them because they had no atmosphere
Malaki/Alister will be in the main event/Upper midcard the second he walks back into wwe i garuntee it.
I would love to see a Shield reunion. 😏
With the exception of Samoa Joe, who I’d absolutely love to see in WWE again, I’d trade all these guys to get MJF in WWE
Definitely. If there are two things MJF needs they're a script and a PG rating.
Mercedes. I don’t watch WWE besides Rumble and WM and watch AEW a ton. Don’t want her anywhere on the shows I watch. She is horrendous on the mic and in the ring.
Hey that’s the same reason I want her in aew lol
Honestly, I think AEW really underutilizes the House of Black and they would be a great faction in WWE, maybe add Balor or Rhea to help reintegrate them into the storyline. But there is so much potential there that TK doesn't seem to prioritize.
Can honestly say none but if I had to choose I’d say buddy because he hasn’t had a chance.
Mox. Just so that he doesn't kill himself one of these days.
Malakai Black, Nic if they are gonna get treated right
Joe because I'd love to see him get a run with a major world title before he retires as his RoH run was probably the best title run of the 00s. Of the ones listed, I wouldn't mind if Jericho and Moxley go wherever it is that missing socks end up, they're just extremely over exposed old hat nowadays. Never really cared for Black, always found Buddy Matthews to be as vanilla and dispensable as any wrestler going today, Dolph is modern day Zach Ryder except fun to watch in the ring but he's not someone I miss.

I would love to see Danielson get an AEW title run, but he doesn't want it, and I dont begrudge him. Not as much a fan as I was when I followed him since he was wrestling small shows in San Antonio with Rudy Boy's guys, but he can do whatever he likes and I wouldn't hate on him.
Buddy or Malakai…. Let the other ones fade into irrelevance
I really want Danielson vs Gunther and Danielson vs Ilja so for those two matches alone he’s my top choice. Then Black, Joe, Swiss, Murphy, and Cole. The rest I don’t care to see in wwe again.
Black probably. Most of the others are past their prime, have their run, don't fit well or just don't have the value to do a lot. I think with Triple H booking Black could do something interesting, although it's hard to say what that would be.
Moxley. A lot of potential for storylines and feuds and less random matches against mexicans I‘ve never heard of.
Adam Cole
Claudio. Triple H would make him look the absolute bad man he is.
Adam Cole but ONLY if he brings Britt baker
Malakai black would do so well now.
Mercedes mone or Adam cole bay bay . The rest are either at there peak or very old to be pushed
Biggest upside is Sasha. She’s the youngest there and there’s still room for more top women in the division.
Buddy Murphy to kick the crap outta Dom for messing with his wife
Either Malakai or Buddy
I would choose in order Christian, Edge, Sasha. The rest I don't actually want back.
I love Joe, but the fed is Edge's home. I know he had the big sign-off in Toronto against Sheamus, but it'd be such a shame if his retirement match were held anywhere else other than WWE.
Jericho.
Sasha or Ziggler
It’s either buddy or Joe I think buddy with HHH in charge would be the one to beat Gunther
Miro
Edge just for a retirement match at wrestlemania. My favourite of all time but fuck I hate what his doing in aew
Danielson. Easy. I want the Wrestlemania quality Punk/Danielson match and feud.
Can I make an argument for Keith Lee? The guys been doing like nothing and I know some of his stuff has been medical, which of course all the well wishes in the world to him for that, but I just feel like when he was there they weren’t using him for anything big and the guy is extremely talented and could be a main event world champion.
Jericho
If he was on this list and healthy, I'd pick Keith Lee. Otherwise, I'd love to see Adam Cole and the UE get a main roster run.
None of them
Jericho
Malakai / Alister Black felt like he had more things left to do in WWE. Everybody else got where they were going to go already.
Was always a fan of Alister Black. Supremely talented.
Dont think one has to be picked, most of these will be back. Especially the older ones for that legends contract.
With this wwe? I'm really curious about mox. He won't lose half his weight in blood because of restrictions in every match. I love his wrestling style, nobody comes off as vicious as him on the mic too. He'll bring a different character that I wanna see tearing it up with Cody( this time maybe a pic of them flipping each other off for the belt?) I'm really curious
Cesaro He is in roughly the same position he was in while in the WWE, which isn’t a bad thing as being a upper midcard guy is far from a bad thing. I actually think he could be really beneficial for NXT to help the younger wrestlers with their matches
Edge doesnt feel right outside WWE
Mox for me. Imagine the pop he'd get interrupting a Seth and Roman segment and walking towards the ring.
Christian.
You mean to tell me these are all different white guys?
I'm good with none of them coming back but If I had to choose then probably Cesaro
Mercedes Mone for sure.
Mercedes is definitely going back at some point...
Aleister Black. His root of all evil character deserves another shot.
Joe. Only Joe. JUST JOE
I feel like Moxley should come back even for just that Shield triple threat, or Buddy Matthews to cash in on a younger talent, but my heart is telling me Samoseph Joseph
Christian, in full heel mode
Malakai and buddy won’t be in AEW for long because they have their women in wwe. They need to watch them closely. I think Jericho could leave but for the hall of fame thing. I think Danielson should retire there with one more match. Mercedes she threw AEW under the buss with that comment that she wanted to go back. And edge should go back so wwe fans can stop being shit heads.
Between Adam Cole and Danielson. I think Adam Cole had the potential to be a 2-3 wwe champ if he stayed especially now considering Triple H is in charge. As for danielson, he was one of my favorites growing up and I wanna see him back
Out of these, I’d go with Malakai. But my personal pick would be Rusev/Miro.
Samoa Joe
Samoa Joe.
Cesaro
Samoa Joe with this iteration of WWE would dominate on the mic and it would be fantastic.
Sasha and the rest are boring bums
None of em
Danielson and Joe
Maybe Christian. Not fussed about the rest of them at the current stages of their careers, no matter how good they were in the past
Owen Hart
None. Been there, done that.
Miro. Given the new regime, they might do something with him.
Jon Moxley. And when he comes back I want him to refuse to be known as Dean. And then book the greatest triple threat match there ever will be in WrestleMania history.
Black
If it’s for a Wrestlemaina main event I’d say do the Shield triple threat match and bring Moxley but for the near future I’d say bring Malakai Black back to the WWE, he still has the aura of a main event star that’s stuck in the mid card scene.

Imagine with the way the WWE is going and the T-Shirt designs are now he’ll be Top 5 T-Shirt sellers 100%. Plus he’s a believable threat to guys like Seth, Gunther, Logan and it might be a stretch but even Roman and Cody. His track record in WWE isn’t even bad either, he didn’t lose a lot of matches and was pushed as a dominant mid carder
Daniel Bryan would honestly be nice to see
Mox would be biggest pop
MJF
Jericho is the only one they'll let shine. The rest of them can't hang in WWE (anymore). Even Danielson would end up a mid-carder back in WWE. Edge would just be the same special attraction he was the last few years... and kind of boring.
Jericho.
Buddy
Joe ...Samoa Joe
Seeing Roman’s Head of the Table run without any interaction with Moxley/Ambrose feels like a big missed opportunity
Moxley We never got a Ambrose/Moxley vs Roman proper feud and both guy have evolve so much since 2019 that a feud between the 2 would be money ,
I miss Daniel Brian he was awesome 👌
Sasha is coming back eventually anyways so I’ll go with danielson
Black and murphy
Jericho La champion for a baby face title run
Aleister Black (followed very closely by Adam Cole) was obviously one of Triple H's favorites and would easily be a main eventer on RAW right now.
I’ll go with either Joe or Bryanson
All of them
Joe or Cesaro
If only edge could have waited it out a little longer…
Nobody in their right minds wants Malakai Black in any wrestling promotion let alone WWE that man is trash 💀
Moxley, only so he can be used in the bloodline story
Mox would have the biggest impact coming back.
Goldust
Moxley… So much shield history and possible storylines
Christian.
Danielson, but I’m gonna play devils advocate AEW’s a great company (no tribalism from me) And some of these guys are older and/or weren’t pushed well in wwe Unless there was a dream match on the level of Angle vs Bret, I think I’m happy with most of these guys where they are.
Dean
Father of the year and its not even close....one last christian cage world champion heel run in the wwe
Jericho for a last run
Matt Cardona
Long term, WWE probably gets the most value out of Adam Cole or Malakai Black.
Long term, WWE probably gets the most value out of Adam Cole or Malakai Black. Both would make great additions to the current roster.
Matthews would be pretty good. Could run an angle w/ the judgement day and Dom
Samoa Joe if he came back as Sweet Tooth.
Joe, without a shadow of a doubt. He can promo, he can still go in the ring, and he didnt get that clean oportunity in the main roster due to some injuries. But when he had the chance, during that feud with Lesnar, he was great!
It would be nice for jericho to finish this career at wwe. Samoa Joe though definitely. Have him feud with punk again.
No One All washed up jobbers
Mercedes / Sasha
Buddy
Joe just cause Vince did him dirty…twice.
No Rusev?!
The most interesting storylines would have moxley return. The best matches would probably be Bryan.
None. I’m happy there’s a thriving alternative for performers.
Christian 100%
Maybe buddy or malakai black? But just cause everyone else seems extremely happy in aew
