We’ll see a recurring theme of a Triple H-led WWE bringing back several released superstars, even if they aren’t main event-level talent. In many cases, these wrestlers add depth, especially to the women’s divisions, which had been cleaned out in recent years.

The former Sarah Logan fits that bill perfectly. The wife of the Viking Raiders’ Erik was released in 2020 and returned for a one-night shot at Royal Rumble 2022. But she would make a more permanent return alongside Erik & Ivar as Valhalla, the Viking Raiders’ valet. The gimmick was criticized for being very similar to Max the Impaler on the independent scene.

Valhalla hasn’t stepped back into the ring in a match yet, but you’ve got to imagine we’ll get to that point with the ongoing rivalries with Legado Del Fantasma (with Zelina Vega) and Hit Row (with B-Fab).
