Released Wrestler Returns To WWE In New Guest Role
This former WWE star has been back at the company in a new position recently.
Kalisto was back in WWE last week, working as a guest coach and producer for NXT.
Fightful Select reports that the former Lucha House Party member was at the WWE Performance Center and a live event on Friday night. He produced the women's matches at the Dade City, Florida house show.
That event hosted three bouts from the division:-
- NXT Women's Tag Team Champions Katana Chance & Kayden Carter vs. Jakara Jackson & Lash Legend
- Alba Fyre vs. Valentina Feroz
- Indi Hartwell vs. Tatum Paxley
There is currently no word on whether or not WWE will bring Kalisto back following this guest spot. This was his first time working with the market leaders since April 2021, when he was released, ending a near eight-year tenure with the promotion.
Kalisto, 36, has reverted to his pre-WWE ring name, Samuray del Sol, since leaving the company. He has worked only nine matches since departing (per CAGEMATCH), including a one-off AEW Dynamite appearance opposite FTR on 3 November 2021. Fightful's report notes that although IMPACT Wrestling had discussed bringing him in at one point, this ultimately didn't end up happening.
