WWE Draft 2016: 5 Things That Will Happen (And 5 That Won't)
5. Multiple Superstars WILL Return
For better or worse, it’s far likelier that WWE will look to unaffiliated former talent to replenish their talent pool rather than tearing NXT apart. With WWE allegedly reaching-out to swathes of veteran workers in the lead-up to Tuesday night’s Draft, look for several former WWE superstars to make their returns as the Draft progresses.
There’s plenty of speculation as to who they’ll turn to, and while we won’t know for sure until Tuesday, there are a few obvious choices. Former United States Champion MVP remains a solid wrestler and is a free agent after his TNA contract expired, Carlito could be tempted to return for an angle with his family members in The Shining Stars, and WWE might be tempted to keep Brian Kendrick around after his Cruiserweight Classic run.
Tommy Dreamer has been rumoured heavily in recent days, and WWE has never been shy to call on ECW originals like him and Rhyno whenever they have a spot to fill. We already know that Tajiri will make a full-time WWE comeback after the Cruiserweight Classic; will more former ECW alumni follow him to Raw and SmackDown?
Whatever the case, look for at least half-a-dozen old faces to re-emerge in the Draft.
