Boy that just seems like a bad idea from an optics perspective. If he not as good as a worker as Swerve was? If they replace a workrate guy with a workrate guy, at least in the ring, they would be okay. Ehh, just off the optics of Hit Row was supposed to be an Urban group representing the Black youth of now and throwing Ced in that would kind of feel token You might as well do something all new

What about Lorcan I swear him and Drew had the craziest squash match I ever seen and I liked Lorcan with Burch as well I hated Lorcan until I saw an NXT house show where him and Roddy just went insane on each other.

Speaking of Roddy, i'd actually let him walk if he still wants to go The Creed Bros are over and while I like Roddy as a wrestler, he needs to be the lesser in the group to stand out. He wants to go be with his friends let him tho I would try to convince him on being a coach at some point

He's just way too bland and unremarkable.

I dunno why people think Triple H and Stephanie would bring back Nia. She was a known anti-vaxxer and constantly injured women in the ring, not to mention she has an incredibly bad attitude. I think she was cut because she kept injuring people, didn't care, and refused to get vaccinated when asked. Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't Kross and Scarlett anti-vaxxers as well? I know they have other pros and cons to them, but that specific issue doesn't seem to be an impediment to return (unfortunately). I think they ended up getting vaccinated, actually. Also in the case of Nia, her being an anti-vaxxer is only one small part of the problem. She is still incredibly unsafe, not popular at all, and has an insanely bad attitude problem. Doesn't help that ever since her release she has gotten even worse behavior wise.

He's just way too bland and unremarkable. He needs to be in a group where he is the workhorse or a tag team where someone else covers up the weakness of personality He's a guy who'd probably fit well in Alpha Academy with Otis and Gable or if they still had The Hurt Business and he had MVP to do all the talking and back him up

Gargano is interesting, along with Candice, cause they’ve been gone a minute and I’d be surprised if Tony didn’t already have them under contract but was just waiting until All Out for them to appear. But I guess we’ll have to see on that front. From what I understand, Gargano is not under contract with AEW at all. He made it pretty clear he wasn't going to sign anywhere until he felt like he was ready. Dave had talked about this as well. Gargano has also said on his streams that he had like zero interest in signing with anyone even as recently as 1.5 months ago. Also I doubt Johnny was going to head to AEW anyways. They had several big chances to debut him and missed every time. Plus their roster is overloaded as it is right now, so odds are very good he would wrestle a couple of matches on Dynamite and then get shuffled off to Dark or Rampage whenever a shiny new toy shows up for Tony to sign. ? Aren’t Shane and Steph really close? Steph mentioned that when she was on Jericho’s podcast in the early days of the network That was the older days, but from what I understand they've grown estranged, and that's ignoring Shane being pretty widely disliked by the locker room after his antics at the Rumble. He was in charge of agenting the match and pretty much made every single wrestler except himself look really bad in it. And backstage wise, he would probably be bad for morale since he's really close with people like Kevin Dunn and also supported people like Johnny Ace and Bruce Pritchard. He was basically Vince lite when it came to who he is close with. You would also have to ask the question of what does Shane actually bring to the company? Because it isn't star power, that's for sure. Source on Shane and Steph being “estranged”? Steph and Triple H were just at Shane’s son’s graduation a couple of months ago.

We're all concerned about it.

I didn't look through this whole thread, but from what I remember, Moxley's issues were with mostly with Vince (and Dunn, obviously).
I don't know when his AEW contract is up, and I am sure he loves the creative freedom he has there, but I wonder if he would consider coming back to a HHH run WWE at some point.

He's got another 2 or 3 years left

PWInsider just announced that WWE fired John Lauranaitis, so I wonder if that will factor into anyone’s decision to return.

Any chance the 3 remaining HIT ROW members return? Was Triple H a fan of Top Dolla? Hit Row periodically come into my mind with just what a shit show that main roster run was. Firing B-Fab and cutting her part of the theme then firing everyone else like a week or two later 🤦🏻♂️

Doesn't help that ever since her release she has gotten even worse behavior wise. Yeah the vaccination was one stance, she was also a headache that just wasn't worth the trouble. Maybe, apparently how they treated Rene when she got COVID and when they fired her caused a lot of issues with Mox, but he's also said at this point he's also said he's made his money now he wants to make his art. Tough to say. THey aren't getting Swerve anytime soon (and from Swerve's side, while he didn't have an issue with Triple H, he wasn't as complimentary of him as others were either) so I cannot see them going with the other 3. I think Gargano and Candice are very possible especially with Raw being in Cleveland, maybe Andrade when his deal is up. Otherwise? eh,

This isn't really on topic, but I can't wait for Ilja Dragunov to come up to the main roster.
