10 Big WWE Returns That Could Happen In 2017
9. Shelton Benjamin
This one, admittedly, is a bit of a cheat - we already know that Shelton Benjamin is coming back in 2017. Still, when he does return to the Smackdown brand, it should give the show's roster another excellent worker.
Benjamin was supposed to make his WWE comeback over the summer - in fact, a vignette aired on Smackdown hyping his return. When he took his requisite physical before returning to the company, though, it was determined that the former Intercontinental Champion was suffering from a torn rotator cuff, and would need surgery before competing.
Benjamin has since had his shoulder repaired, and he's been convalescing. He won't be back anytime soon - he recently took to Twitter to announce that he's months away from being able to do anything physical and so any rumors of him being in the Royal Rumble are false - but he will be back once he's able.
