The fact that the original, Earth-616 incarnation of Logan returned isn't shocking whatsoever really - it's more just the timing of it.

While it's hard to deny that Howlett is one of Marvel's all-time greats, the character's successor, Laura Kinney (X-23) was really coming into her own as the latest person to take up the mantle of Wolverine. With her solo series, All-New Wolverine, as well as her appearances in X-Men Red, she had more than proved herself to be a worthy replacement.

So, while Logan's return itself may not be surprising in the slightest, the sudden demotion of Laura back to a tag she was given at the start of her life is really just a smack in the face to anyone who had invested in her during the original's absence.
