Ultimate Warrior Would Return to the WWE if Asked

The Ultimate Warrior has been in the news quite a bit recently. As we previously reported, Warrior has signed a deal with 2K Sports and will be a featured character in the new WWE 2K14 video game. Upon this announcement, the WWE began posting videos and interviews with the former WWE superstar on WWE.com, showcasing his career. Now, via his official Twitter account, the Ultimate Warrior claims that he would return to the WWE if he was asked to.

This wouldn’t be big news if Warrior and Vince McMahon had not been verbally and legally feuding for the better part of seventeen years. Warrior parted ways with the WWE after a short run in 1996 on bad terms, and the metaphoric fuel was thrown on the flames when the WWE produced the Self-Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior DVD back in 2005. The company and the Warrior then entered into a bitter legal battle soon after, with the Warrior claiming defamation of character.

However, it seems like cooler heads are prevailing, as Vince McMahon tweeted this regarding the WWE Legend last week,

 

I want to personally welcome Ultimate Warrior back to @WWE http://t.co/26Z44YD5PK

— Vince McMahon (@VinceMcMahon) July 18, 2013

 

The Warrior would respond to McMahon Monday night, saying in a TweetLonger post,

“@VinceMcMahon Vince, thank you for your personal welcome back to the WWE Universe. It is noted and appreciated. All the Warriors of Parts Unknown take pride in being one of the original galaxies of the Universe you created. Not one of my days has passed without a flashback to my time in the business and my relationship with you. After 17 years of battling one another, perhaps the stars have finally aligned and Destiny is prepared to tell one of Sports Entertainment’s greatest stories: how two of the industry’s most determined, colorful, intense and explosive personalities brought to life a persona that made such an inspiring impression that it still captures the hearts and minds of fans all over the world, even all these years later. I am proud Ultimate Warrior is an iconic, immortal spirit in the Universe you created. I know, Vince McMahon, you are proud, too. The inhabitants of your WWE Universe believe your personal welcome is an invitation of sorts. If so, consider this my RSVP with one condition. Wisdom takes a seat at the table with us when we meet, but we each also leave unburied a slight edge of the hatchet we’ve carried over the years. that other gutless and heartless God-fearing men urge us to lay to rest forever. Face it, neither one of us were ever any good at being bored or boring others. So coming prepared to kill one another makes for a interesting backup plan. Always Believe, Warrior.”

Will we ever see the Ultimate Warrior again in the WWE? That is yet to be seen, but with the publicity from the upcoming game and all of this recent talk back and forth, it wouldn’t be too much to say that the WWE Universe could again “feel the power” of the Warrior in the near future.

Remember, in this business, never say never.
