Former WWE Star Pitches Idea For Return After 11 Year Absence

It’s an idea. There are a lot of ways to present a wrestler and nostalgia can be one of the most entertaining. It can be a lot of fun to see a wrestler from days past show up again after a long absence. If it is in a way that you might not expect but still fits, everything can be better. A former WWE star is now pitching a return in a spot that suits him about as perfectly as can be asked.

During an appearance on the 10 Count podcast, former WWE star Chris Masters pitched an idea for a Royal Rumble return. Masters suggested that he return during the Royal Rumble when Bobby Lashley had someone in the Hurt Lock, playing up the idea of the Hurt Lock vs. Masters’ Masterlock full nelson. There is nothing to suggest that WWE is interested in bringing Masters, who last wrestled in WWE in 2011, back for another run with the company.

Opinion: While I don’t know if I can imagine WWE actually going in this direction, it certainly is an idea for a story. Maybe that is where WWE goes one day and it could in fact work in the Royal Rumble. That is the match where you have nostalgic moments like a Masters return and it would indeed give fans a nice flashback moment to days gone by. Maybe we will see it someday, and that wouldn’t be a bad idea.
