WWE boasts a calendar packed with Premium Live Events, including flagship shows RAW and SmackDown, alongside a roster of big events hosted by the NXT brand on Peacock.
Among these, WrestleMania stands out as the grandest spectacle, steeped in history since its inception in 1985, evolving into a colossal stadium affair spanning two nights.
This year, WrestleMania XL takes center stage at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on April 6th and 7th, drawing top talents from the promotion.
However, amidst the anticipation, some stars have been conspicuously absent from television, raising questions about their potential inclusion in the show.
This article explores the potential return of several talented performers who’ve been away from the spotlight for an extended period, contingent upon their physical readiness. Who might grace the stage ahead of the epic 40th annual WrestleMania?
Here are four WWE stars poised for a comeback before WrestleMania 40:
4. Alexa Bliss: A Welcome Addition to RAW’s Women’s Division
Alexa Bliss, a decorated performer, boasts an impressive resume with RAW and SmackDown Women’s Championship reigns since her main roster debut in 2016.
However, her last match against Bianca Belair at the Royal Rumble in January 2023 marked her hiatus due to pregnancy. While it’s crucial not to rush her return postpartum, Bliss’s comeback ahead of WrestleMania could inject star power into RAW’s women’s division.
3. Sheamus: Primed for a WrestleMania Spectacle
Sheamus, a multi-time world champion and Royal Rumble winner has been sidelined since his loss to Edge on SmackDown in August 2023 due to injury.
His potential return could see him vying for Gunther’s Intercontinental Championship, providing a much-needed boost and delivering a WrestleMania-worthy showdown.
2. Wendy Choo: A Unique Talent Awaited
Wendy Choo’s distinctive persona and in-ring prowess have been sorely missed since her last match in May 2023. Whether on NXT or transitioning to the main roster, Choo’s return promises excitement and a fresh dynamic to WWE programming.
1. Braun Strowman: The Monster Among Men Eyes Redemption
Braun Strowman, a formidable force and former world champion, has been absent since May 2023 following neck surgery.
A potential reunion with Ricochet could pave the way for a tag team championship challenge against The Judgment Day at WrestleMania, offering Strowman an opportunity for redemption.
As WrestleMania approaches, the WWE universe eagerly anticipates the return of these talented performers, each poised to make a significant impact on the grandest stage of them all.
