Five brilliant returns that closed out WWE PPVs
A popular babyface or a loathed heel returning to the WWE after a long time being marred by injuries or other commitments, can really rejuvenate the scenario for themselves or any other performer who desperately needs an opponent.
Such returns also freshen up things and brings back some much-needed excitement from the crowd. Seth Rollins’ return this past week at Extreme Rules did just that for himself, for Roman Reigns and the WWE Universe who despite jeering him while he was a heel welcomed him back with a rapturous ovation. There have been quite a few PPV returns that have taken the audience by surprise
Here are the top 5 PPV returns that closed out shows
The Ultimate Return
In the main event of WrestleMania VIII, Hulk Hogan faced Sid Justice, accompanied by Harvey Wippleman. Towards the end of the match, Papa Shango was supposed to interfere and break the pin attempt by Hogan which led Wippleman to enter the ring to distract the referee but Sid had already kicked out.
Shango appeared much after the official rang the bell to indication a disqualification win for Hogan. Hogan was overpowered by the numbers game. The mayhem however turned to celebration when the Ultimate Warrior ran to the ring, marking his return, to save the day.
