5 Retired WWE legends who’ve got the itch to wrestle again
WWE has a rich history of legends and veterans who have shaped the terrain of the Stamford-based promotion over the years. Many legendary stars are still competing in the ring. Some noteworthy names include Randy Orton and R-Truth, who remain active in the squared circle.
In this article, we focus on the WWE legends who seemingly still have the itch to wrestle again in World Wrestling Entertainment.
#5. Undertaker could wrestle in one more match
The Undertaker is one of the legendary stars in the Stamford-based promotion whose heritage seems timeless and will be recalled for ages. The Deadman has already retired from the company, with his last match against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36 in a cinematic Boneyard match.
Despite this retirement, The Phenom might still come out of retirement in the future to contend in more matches.
It has been a long time since fans had a glimpse of 'Taker competing in the ring, but The Deadman still makes appearances in WWE sometimes. So, it would make sense if he returned for one more match.
#4. Kurt Angle could make his comeback
Kurt Angle is one of the names whose prospects of returning repeatedly surface, either in the ring or as a manager for someone else. The Olympic gold medalist has already had a retirement tour in WWE, which ended with a defeat to Baron Corbin at WrestleMania 35.
This raises the possibility that Angle could make a return in the near future for one final match and to have a proper farewell from the Stamford-based promotion.
#3. The Texas Rattle Snake could return for one more match
Stone Cold Steve Austin impressed fans with his last match with an incredible performance against Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 38. Many expected The Texas Rattlesnake to compete in the ring, or at least have a surprise appearance at WrestleMania this year, but that did not come to fruition.
Taking all that into account, Stone Cold also stands as a firm candidate, as the WWE legend could potentially come out of retirement to compete again in a bout at a premium live event. WrestleMania 41 certainly stands as an ideal location where fans could witness the legendary star compete in one more match.
#2. Mick Foley could make an unexpected return
Mick Foley is another name anticipated to come out of retirement, as he reportedly still has the itch to wrestle again. The veteran is still connected with World Wrestling Entertainment.
Earlier, reports stated that Foley was advised against having a retirement match, but this does not debunk the chances of his return to the squared circle. However, this would only be possible if Mick Foley gets in good shape and is medically cleared to compete one final time.
#1. Hulk Hogan might come out from retirement to WWE
Lastly, Hulk Hogan is another name that might still have the itch to compete in the squared circle once again. The Hulkster has been appearing in the company on special occasions, which confirms that he is still connected with WWE.
One of the most famous adages in wrestling has been 'Never say never.' While Hogan is quite long in the tooth indeed, it may not take much of an effort for the star to have a bout with minimal interaction. Hogan also stands a good chance of making a final return for one more match in the Stamford-based promotion if he is willing to do so.
