Two Big Names Returning To Monday Night Raw

Welcome back. Injuries are one of the worst things that can happen to a wrestler. It puts you on the shelf for an undisclosed amount of time and can really derail your career. However, with most injuries, you get the chance to make a comeback and returning can be one of the most interesting things. It can give your career a rather nice boost and now we know who is coming back soon.

This week on Monday Night Raw, a pair of vignettes aired showing that Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens were coming back to the show. There was no date given on their returns with just a statement that they would be back soon. Zayn has been on the shelf since June of this year after undergoing several shoulder surgeries. Owens has been out since October with knee injuries.

In case you’ve forgotten. Here’s what Zayn can do when he’s healthy:

Opinion: While not exactly a game changer, Zayn returning is a very good thing. He’s over with the fans and can have a strong to great match. I don’t think he’ll be in the World Title scene anytime soon, but he’s the kind of person you can put on the show and guarantee at least a solid reaction and some energy, both of which can be severely lacking at times. Owens on the other hand is a big time main event player and could be right in the Universal Title hunt, whenever the thing comes back.

Which of these two will have the bigger impact? What do you want to see them do? Let us know in the comments below.
