3 Wrestlers who could return to WWE before Survivor Series

Survivor Series is just a couple weeks away, and the build-up so far has been pretty intense. Unexpectedly, WWE announced that NXT will also be a part of the PPV this year and will go head to head (to head) against RAW and SmackDown. The NXT roster invaded both shows recently to make a statement and automatically made the build to the show feel bigger and more meaningful.

However, something else that could help the shows is the return of injured Superstars or ones who have just been away from the ring for a while. WWE could have a few surprise returns in store for us in the upcoming weeks. So far, the traditional five on five matches haven't been made official yet, but once they are, fans become curious about the participants in the match.

In such a scenario, a wrestler who is returning could indeed fill up the last spot for different teams. With that said, let's look at three wrestlers who could come back to WWE before Survivor Series 2019. What do you think of these? Feel free to let us know in the comments section below.

#3 Liv Morgan

Liv Morgan has mostly been a person who watches the action from the sidelines and rarely gets to wrestle on TV. A few months ago, she lost to Charlotte Flair on SmackDown and vowed to be "real" when she came back. Ever since then, fans have been intrigued as there has been some speculation that she might have a new darker character now.

During the WWE draft, she was the last pick for RAW. She hasn't returned yet, but now maybe the best time to bring her back. With Survivor Series around the corner, they could give her a big opportunity by putting her on Team RAW in a possible five on five women's match.

If they have plans to push her going forward, then she could shine at this match and start a new fresh phase of her career. However, if they have planned a dark character, it may not be wise to put her in this if team RAW is going to lose. Such a character needs to be protected, and a loss wouldn't be ideal at this stage. Instead, she could have a segment or moment at the PPV.

Either way, we may very well see the former Riott Squad member return to action soon.

#2 Authors of Pain

AOP
AOP

The Authors of Pain were away from TV due to injury for a number of months until recently when WWE started airing vignettes of the duo. They have been doing very menacing promos in those vignettes, and it looks like the AOP intends to be more dominant than ever before when they finally make their return. Fans were expecting them to be a surprise entrant in the WWE World Cup Tag Team Gauntlet at Crown Jewel, but they didn't return.

One of the main reasons people want the team back is to give The Vikings Raiders some legit competition. Even though The O.C of Gallows and Anderson won the World Cup and the Street Profits are very popular, neither of those teams look like threats to the Raiders, att least not yet. Therefore, to prevent the tag division from becoming too one-sided, WWE has to bring Akam and Rezar back soon.

They could have a tag team match at Survivor Series where they squash some team and put themselves in line for a feud with the champions. Or they could attack the Raiders after the latter's match at the PPV. Either way, it has the potential to be an interesting and competitive feud for the next few months.

#1 Sheamus

Sheamus
Sheamus

Soon after Wrestlemania 35, Sheamus got injured during a six-man tag team match and has been missing from TV ever since. Although there have been some reports that claimed he was cleared to return to action, it seems apparent that WWE didn't have any immediate plans for him, since he's doing a lot of YouTube videos but nothing inside the squared circle. Here we are, seven months after he got injured, and the Celtic Warrior has yet to come back.

It just might be a case of WWE feeling that their roster is overstacked with talent, especially young guys who need the spotlight after the draft. Therefore, his return has been delayed for a while. It could be a good idea to bring him back during the build-up to Survivor Series 2019.

He could re-unite The Bar with Cesaro, or he could go a singles run. Sheamus is 41 years old and with his body allegedly in pretty poor shape, he probably doesn't have much time left on the top, so it wouldn't be surprising if WWE pushed him hard one more time when he returns.

Ideally, we would see him placed in the Survivor Series men's team for SmackDown to kickstart his return.
