WWE pay-per-views are coming thick and fast, as the company is set to host another pay-per-view, Clash of Champions, later this month. This will be the third pay-per-view in a month for WWE, following SummerSlam and Payback pay-per-views in August.
Clash of Champions will see a few mouth-watering clashes with several titles on the line at the Amway Center on September 27, 2020. The WWE and Universal Championships, RAW and SmackDown Tag Team Championships, Women's Tag Team Championship, as well as the Intercontinetal Championship will be on the line at Clash of Champions.
WWE could pull off a few swerves and maybe add a few surprises at the show, perhaps with the return of a few Superstars. Let's take a look at 5 Superstars who could return at WWE Clash of Champions 2020:
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#5 Kofi Kingston to return at WWE Clash of Champions
Former WWE Champion Kofi Kingston has been out of action since for two months now, suffering an injury in his tag team match at The Horror Show at Extreme Rules. On the SmackDown after Extreme Rules, Kingston told Big E that he was going to take a break away from WWE and heal from his injuries.
In a recent interview, Kingston revealed that he has been able to "recoup" and "recover" during his time away from WWE:
"I've been able to just recoup at home here, and just recover. So I'm feeling pretty good. And you know the glass half full, is that I've been able to spend an amazing amount of time at home with my family and my kids. I'm just trying to cherish this time while I can," Kingston said. "I've been on the road for ten years consistently and I've never spent this much time at home."
Big E isn't booked for Clash of Champions as of now, but if he is in a singles match, Kingston could maybe come to the aid or stand in Big E's corner in the match.
#4 Sonya Deville to return at WWE Clash of Champions
Sonya Deville has had a tumultuous few weeks away from the ring as well as in WWE. Deville was the victim of a horrifying kidnapping attempt, where a man stalked her and then broke into her home. This happened just days before her match at SummerSlam in August. In her last match with WWE, Deville featured in a "loser leaves WWE" match against her former best friend, Mandy Rose, at SummerSlam, where she lost the match.
Deville hasn't appeared in WWE since, which is understandable, considering the harrowing time she has endured.
Deville, though, will make her comeback as she is still contracted with WWE, and could potentially return with a more vicious character. Rose has since been moved to RAW from SmackDown, and it will be interesting to see where Deville is placed after she returns to WWE.
She could perhaps return at Clash of Champions to take out one of the women's champions, and enter into a feud. Her return to the WWE would be a big surprise, and fans may be interested in seeing her be afforded a serious opportunity at one of the titles.
#3 Melina to return at WWE Clash of Champions
Recent reports have indicated that former WWE Divas and Women's Champion Melina, is set to return to the company. PWInsider reported a few days ago that she has signed a contract with WWE and should debut in the next week or so:
"Former WWE Womens Champion and WWE Divas Champion Melina Perez has come to terms for a return to World Wrestling Entertainment, PWInsider.com has confirmed. There had been interest in Perez earlier this year as the company attempted to book her for the 2020 Women's Royal Rumble, but at the time, she was under an agreement with the NWA. That agreement has since expired. PWInsider.com is told by multiple sources that Perez will be returning to WWE programming within the next week."
Melina signed with WWE way back in 2004 and rose up to the main roster, winning the Divas Championship twice and the Women's Championship thrice. She was with the company for seven years, and was released back in 2011. Melina hasn't been a part of WWE since, but she did appear at last year's RAW Reunion show.
The former WWE Superstar denied the reports of her being signed with WWE, although she said that she was open to signing with the company.
If Melina has signed with the company, Clash of Champions could be a great way for her to return to WWE.
#2 Carmella to return at WWE Clash of Champions
Former WWE SmackDown Women's Champion Carmella has been off television for quite some time. The SmackDown Superstar has taken to social media time and again over the last few weeks to tell her fans that she is desperate to get back in the ring.
She hasn't, though, revealed why she has been off television, or when she will return to WWE SmackDown.
Fans have recently had various theories as to Carmella's absence, from her being the mystery blonde woman on SmackDown, to being one of the members of RETRIBUTION.
There are small clues in the above video to reveal that the mystery woman is in fact Carmella. Fans have pointed to her tattoo in the video, which has given away her identity.
WWE may plan to repackage Carmella to bring her back in the title picture or the tag team title picture, with a new gimmick. It will be interesting to see if this new mystery woman debuts on this coming week's SmackDown, or maybe at this weekend's Clash of Champions.
#1 Daniel Bryan to return at WWE Clash of Champions
Former WWE Champion Daniel Bryan has been away from WWE for over three months, last wrestling on SmackDown in June. He faced AJ Styles for the vacant Intercontinental Championship on the Blue brand, a match which he lost.
Bryan has since been away, mainly due to his wife, WWE Hall of Famer Brie Bella, giving birth to the couple's second child, in August. The SmackDown Superstar revealed earlier this year that WWE were going to give him six weeks off as paternity leave, which would have ended by now.
Bryan is now reportedly a part of the SmackDown creative team backstage, although the last report about him revealed that he has not returned to WWE yet. WWE could pull off a surprise by bringing him back for this weekend's Clash of Champions pay-per-view, to set up a match for the future.
At this Sunday's pay-per-view, Intercontinental Championship will be on the line, where Jeff Hardy will defend his title against two recent former champions, AJ Styles and Sami Zayn. Zayn and Styles have had their run-ins with Bryan, and this could be a great way to add Bryan into the mix, to potentially set-up a fatal four-way match between the four for a big pay-per-view, like Survivor Series.
