10 Wrestling Returns That Would Improve WWE TV

If WWE are interested in injecting the current product with some Hollywood flavour, then they can't do better than The Rock.

Undoubtedly Hollywood's golden boy these days, Rocky is someone WWE love being associated with. There's a sense of pride whenever he does return, almost as though Vince McMahon revels in the knowledge that he had a hand in creating The Rock's success.

It'd be interesting to see WWE bring back Rocky in time for SummerSlam, rather than waiting for the usual WrestleMania window to use him. That wasn't possible due to his movie schedule this year, so working out a short return and feud heading into the biggest show of the summer would make up for missing 'Mania.

Ideally, it'd keep Roman Reigns busy and out of Brock Lesnar's hair too. That story is one WWE have leaned on a little too much already this year, and there's little clamour to see another rematch in New York. The Rock, himself a part-timer who ghosts in when he feels like it (something Roman has been critical of with Lesnar) is the ideal opponent.
