WWE fans are in the habit of seeing old stars return. Nevertheless, the excitement around the returns never dies. Reports are coming in about yet another return of on-screen personality. This time around it’s different because the personality rumored to return is not a performing member. However, some of you would be excited to know that it’s the former General Manager, Theodore aka Teddy Long.

The former SmackDown GM spent quite a lot of time inside WWE. The promotion released Long in 2014. Since then, his on-screen appearances have been scarce. The reports of Long’s return are being built around the WWE Draft of 2023. This report enticed some old-timer fans of the company.
