The Warrior is not scheduled to appear on WWE television any time soon, though that may change over the coming months. Warrior hasn't appeared on WWE TV since his short-lived return in the mid 90s, when his squash victory over Triple H at WrestleMania 12 failed to reignite interest in a comeback of a former star and he was burnt out several months later.
