#3 Hulk Hogan
Hulk Hogan was released from WWE in 2015 after his sex scandal poked up again. WWE then went on to give Hogan the Chris Benoit treatment and tried to erase all the traces of him from the company’s history but doing so with such a big name like Hogan turned out to be a major mistake.
A year later, Hogan would emerge victorious in the Gawker Lawsuit, which in turn earned him millions.
With his name now clean, Hogan returning to WWE made sense. WWE slowly mentioning his name here and there on their programming has fueled the rumours. But with 2016 now over, maybe Hogan would return next year and make an impact. He would be an apt name to be the General Manager of either brand if WWE wants to change things.
