Former WWE commentator Nigel McGuinness could come out of retirement and potentially wrestle, per a recent report. With All In right around the corner, fans have reacted to the possibility of the 47-year-old returning to the ring once more after 12 years.

McGuinness was last seen as a member of the TNA roster back in 2010. He also competed in his last televised match that year at TNA Xplosion against Stevie Richards. Nigel competed in the ring a year later at the APWA 3rd Annual Holiday Grand Prix, which was his last match as a wrestler as he had to retire due to health issues.

The AEW announcer was not cleared for in-ring competition, but it was confirmed recently that he was taking measures that seemed like he considered the thought. Most of the fans on Twitter were ecstatic at the idea of McGuinness' in-ring return.

The top reaction to the report was the possibility of Nigel McGuinness facing another former WWE Superstar, Bryan Danielson.

The pair shared the ring in the 2000s for Ring of Honor, and their rivalry was reignited as just recently they made jabs at one another.
