7 WWE Wrestlers Who Should Return In Superstar Shake-Up

For WWE fans, April is the month that keeps on giving. In addition to WrestleMania and the Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia, the company is also staging its annual Superstar Shake-Up next week on Raw and SmackDown.

While nights like these can sometimes disappoint, they almost never fail to arouse some excitement in the build-up. The prospect for marquee stars to switch shows and make acquaintances with fresh opponents is what keeps many of us going through the endless rematches of the previous 12 months.

Here's something else they're great for: unexpected returns. Several major WWE stars over the years have taken their first steps back in the ring on the draft show - a tradition that began back in 2004 when Edge was picked for Raw following more than a year on the shelf.

This time round, there are a whole of host of previously injured or inactive stars who could make their comebacks in the Superstar Shake-Up, and though it's unlikely that they will all be reintroduced on the same night, it's possible that at least one or two will get the go-ahead.

Big Cass is one of a few WWE wrestlers who was said to have been declared fit in the run-up to WrestleMania, leading many to suggest that he would either take the role of Braun Strowman's mystery tag team partner or appear in the night's pre-show battle royal.

In the end, he did neither. It seems his return (presuming he is ready) will be a more low-key affair, which is probably appropriate given that his levels of "over" took a massive nosedive mid-last year after he split from Enzo.

Coming back as one of the supplementary draft picks for SmackDown and then fighting no-name jobbers for a few weeks as he rebuilds his reputation seems like a far more likely path to take than, say, attacking one of the world champions on night one.

That said, there is definitely some potential there, and getting stuck into the mid-card over on Tuesday nights hasn't done the likes of Jinder Mahal and Bobby Roode too much harm (though it hasn't massively helped them, either). He should be right at home in this kind of company.
