WWE Legends Set to Make a Comeback in 2025

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma — Several former WWE stars with illustrious careers are rumored to be re-signing with the company in 2025. This includes a mix of well-known names from older generations and some who previously did not envision a return. Fans are particularly hopeful for the comeback of Paige, known as Saraya in AEW, who was forced to halt her WWE career due to injury but has since been medically cleared to compete.

Paige, a former Divas Champion, has expressed enthusiasm about returning to the ring. Recently, she mentioned her desire to train with fellow wrestler Natalya at the Dungeon training facility, suggesting that a return to WWE may be on the horizon. “I hope to be part of significant match moments that weren’t available for women during my previous tenure,” Paige noted, drawing parallels with key events like the Royal Rumble or Elimination Chamber.

Another name that has surfaced in discussions about a return is Mickie James. Although an announcement of a second season for the A&E network’s WWE show, LFG, did not include her, fans are still eager to see her back in action. James’ last stint with WWE ended on a note that many believe did not do justice to her career. A farewell program for the veteran wrestler would likely be welcomed by both her and the fans.

“While my time in TNA was fulfilling, a proper send-off in WWE feels fitting,” James shared in a recent interview. There’s a sentiment among fans that her previous tenure ended prematurely, and her return could rectify that misstep.

Other potential comebacks include the Bella Twins, particularly Brie Bella, who may reunite with her sister Nikki following Nikki’s surprise entrance in the 2025 Royal Rumble. While Brie has connections to AEW through husband Bryan Danielson, her legacy in WWE is undeniable, which keeps fans speculating about a potential return.

As rumors heat up, significant industry shifts have occurred since Triple H took over WWE following Vince McMahon’s departure. This change in leadership has already altered WWE’s approach to talent management and creative freedom.

“For years, WWE’s culture under Vince was highly controlled,” noted Saraya in her podcast, “Rulebreakers.” “Everything we did required approval, and it was exhausting.” However, under Triple H’s guidance, many former stars are hopeful that they may have the space to showcase their abilities more freely if they return.

While there have been no concrete announcements regarding Paige’s or James’ returns to WWE, their increased visibility and conversations about rejoining could signal exciting developments for fans looking forward to a nostalgic revival of past WWE legends. The 2025 wrestling landscape promises to be intriguing as fans await more news on the potential comebacks.
