3 former WWE Superstars who don't want to return, and 3 who are interested

#3 Lita (is interested in a return to WWE)

WWE Hall of Famer Lita retired from active competition soon after her friend Trish Stratus called it quits in 2006. Lita lost a Women's title match to Mickie James at Survivor Series 2006, and was involved in an embarrassing segment with Cryme Tyme moments later.

Lita has made several returns to the ring ever since then, for one-off matches. The last time she wrestled in WWE was in a 10-Woman Tag Team match, alongside Trish Stratus, Bayley, Sasha Banks, and Natalya.

Lita recently revealed that she is interested in making a WWE return.

"I'm down. I can't say that if I was never in the ring again that something is missing from me, but I think that it would be a fun opportunity and a good short-term goal, and just something to add to the resume. But you guys don't need me, like, everybody is doing awesome there. So I can get by just watching how great everybody's doing. But if the stars aligned, I could be down."

Lita and Trish were instrumental in helping Women's wrestling get recognition, at a time when women weren't getting as many opportunities as they currently do. She is a 4-time WWE Women's Champion and her fans would want nothing but to see her step foot in the ring one last time.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
