WWE Rumors: Former World Champion to make WWE return with new gimmick after WrestleMania 35
What's the story?
WrestleMania 35 is almost here and the rumors regarding WWE's plans for after the biggest wrestling show of the year are already doing the rounds.
The period after 'Mania is known for the returns of Superstars who have been away from TV for some time and this year is expected to be no different.
As per a report from Post Wrestling's John Pollock, Sami Zayn and Bray Wyatt are all set to make their respective WWE returns after WrestleMania 35. Additionally, the potential plans for both superstars were also revealed as part of the report.
In case you didn't know...
Sami Zayn has been missing from action ever since he lost to Bobby Lashley at last year's Money in the Bank PPV. The Underdog from the Underground went under the knife to fix injuries in both his shoulders and rotator cuffs.
As for Bray Wyatt, the Eater of Worlds last wrestled against Baron Corbin at the Starrcade show in November 2018. His absence has been attributed to a lack of creative direction from WWE's side. However, Wyatt has consistently been in the news as he and Jojo Offerman announced that they were expecting a baby boy.
He even changed up his look, which teased a potential gimmick change being on the way. And if the latest reports are anything to go by, a new character is exactly what could be in store for the former WWE Champion upon his return.
