Triple H should book legend to make in-ring return for WWE after 20 years, says veteran (Exclusive)

HHH has made some bold choices since assuming leadership. — The Game has made some bold choices in WWE since assuming leadership

Vince Russo recently pitched the idea of Triple H bringing back X-Pac to WWE and booking him to put his career on the line every time he wrestles for the promotion.

Though X-Pac hasn't wrestled for WWE in more than 20 years, he has been wrestling sporadically on the independent circuit. His match with former AEW star Joey Janela at Game Changer Wrestling's Spring Break in March last year was a resounding success. Given how impressive the former WWE European Champion looked in the match, fans have been wanting to see him get back in the ring.

On the latest edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Writing with Russo, Vince Russo shared his views about X-Pac possibly wrestling for WWE again. The wrestling veteran thinks he should be involved in a storyline where X-Pac makes it clear that Triple H could fire him if he happens to lose even a single match.

"Even if Triple H said, 'Bro, I know you're my friend, and I know we got a history, but bro, I'm looking at your medical reports, and bro, you got a,b,c,d, and e. And bro, you're gonna have one opportunity and one opportunity only.' And let X-Pac say, 'You know what, bro? The first time I'm pinned 1,2,3...'" said Vince Russo.

The former WWE writer believes this storyline could be a big hit with fans and could result in a massive ratings boost for the promotion. Russo added that X-Pac should gradually face bigger and bigger stars with each passing match.

"I would love to see. Bro, you would 1000 percent get people behind X-Pac. I think it would draw ratings because every week, the opponents, higher and higher and higher up the food chain. I would love to that, I think he would be the perfect guy to do that," added Russo. (3:25 - 4:08)

Shawn Michaels on X-Pac on wrestling for WWE NXT

X-Pac's D-Generation X stablemate and NXT head honcho Shawn Michaels believes he could be a great fit on the former black and gold brand.

In a recent interview, Michaels stated that since Sean Waltman had occasionally been competing outside of WWE and was in good shape, he would be a "huge plus" for NXT.

"I got to tell you, that would be awesome. The talent would benefit from that so much, and clearly we do as a program. If we have Kid do anything with us, that’s a huge plus for NXT,” said Shawn Michaels.
