Cody Rhodes returned at WrestleMania and rocked the WWE Universe and took home the ESPY hardware for WWE Moment of the Year. The honor was announced as Rhodes was presented the ESPY for Best Comeback Athlete.
Dakota Kai
Heading 2
Dakota Kai shocked the wrestling world when she returned to WWE at SummerSlam 2022. Kai made her return to the company alongside Bayley and Iyo Sky during SummerSlam following the conclusion of the match between Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair, facing off with the two women.
Bayley
Heading 2
WWE RAW Superstar Bayley could be back in NXT if a tweet from the Role Model is to be believed.
Bray Wyatt
WWE had teased the potential return of Wyatt since last month. The hints pointed toward Wyatt returning about 15 months since he was released from the company but it was never really 100% certain until it actually happened at Saturday night's WWE’s Extreme Rules pay-per-view.
Iyo Sky
Sky made her WWE return at SummerSlam, aligning herself with Bayley and Dakota Kai to form a new group. The former NXT Women’s Champion had been out of action with a leg injury since April 2022.
Karrion Kross
Karrion Kross returned at the end of WWE SmackDown, attacking Drew McIntyre before Scarlett set an hourglass timer, signaling Roman Reigns’ days as WWE champion are numbered. This comes after reports that Kross could be on his way back to WWE.
Dexter Lumis
A night after choking out and kidnapping The Miz on "WWE Raw" in Toronto, Dexter Lumis made his way back to his old stomping grounds "WWE NXT" — to reunite with Indi Hartwell, his former kayfabe wife.
Johnny Gargano
Johnny Gargano returned to WWE on the August 22nd edition of Raw in Toronto. That return happened about nine months after his NXT contract last December and he sat at home as a free agent with the wrestling world wondering what was next for him.
Braun Strowman
After more than a year away from WWE, Braun Strowman returned on theSept. 5 edition of Raw. He may not have been at the top of fans’ wish list of people they hoped Triple H would bring back when he took over creative & talent relations, Strowman does give WWE a needed threat in the upper mid-card and main event scene.
Candice LeRae
The Poison Pixie has returned to WWE and is now on the Rawroster. LeRae, a former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion, took time off for maternity leave as she had her first child with Johnny Gargano.
LA Knight
After weeks of teases that Max Dupri might be returning to his LA Knight persona, WWE finally delivered on those teases during October's SmackDown season premiere.
