10 Big WWE Returns That Could Happen In 2022

10. CJ Parker

Only a fool would have bet on Juice Robinson ever returning to WWE a few months ago.

Flourishing for New Japan after a woeful developmental run as CJ Parker (an eco-warrior jobber character whose most memorable moment was playing squash fodder for a debuting Kevin Owens), Robinson entered the Young Lion program in August 2015 and was soon flourishing as a foreign prospect. Building in popularity, Robinson scored two IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship wins, looking better than ever and totally at home across the Pacific, though his fortunes have since declined.

Shuttled down the card through 2019 and 2020 and opting out of competing in Japan in early 2021, Juice may now be on the verge of leaving the King of Sports. His contract reportedly expires in just over a month.

One of the world's most improved wrestlers since departing WWE six years ago, Robinson will have no shortage of suitors come January. That he and tag team partner David Finlay (whose NJPW deal is also up soon) have IMPACT Wrestling tenure may lean them in that direction. Nonetheless, he would return to WWE better than the wrestler he was as CJ Parker - and with a bigger name to boot.
