"The big guy is coming back this week" - 4 major WWE returns that Triple H could shock us with

Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes recently appeared on The Pat McAfee Show. The former commentator dropped a bombshell on Rhodes, saying he heard that "the big guy is coming back this week."

McAfee didn't confirm the identity of the mysterious star, claiming that The American Nightmare had given him enough information. Fans believed a massive superstar like The Rock or John Cena would return at Bad Blood.

However, Triple H knows how to swerve the WWE Universe. Since taking over creative in the summer of 2022, Hunter has accomplished feats that were deemed impossible. For instance, CM Punk's return was out of the question until The Game brought him back to the fold.

Therefore, fans could expect the unexpected. The Rock or John Cena would blow the roof off the house, but these four names have greater shock value.

#4. Brock Lesnar could return to WWE

Brock Lesnar has not appeared on WWE television since losing to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2023. Lesnar was expected to return for WrestleMania season, but his alleged implications in the controversial Vince McMahon lawsuit in January forced the company to put his comeback on hold.

Consequently, Triple H has decided to be extra cautious in matters about The Beast Incarnate. Lesnar's name is seldom mentioned on television, and a definitive timeline for a massive comeback eludes the wrestling world.

Hence, if Lesnar were to appear in Bad Blood, it would be a genuine surprise that few saw coming. Considering the recent circumstances, Hunter was compelled to keep such news close to the vest.

As The Beast appeared on Pat McAfee's podcast, it made sense for the charismatic host and commentator to tease Lesnar's return.

#3. The Undertaker could make a massive return

The Undertaker infamously appeared in the main event of WrestleMania XL to Chokeslam The Rock and help Cody Rhodes win the Undisputed WWE Championship.

Taker has stepped away from the wrestling world and enjoyed life outside the Stamford-based promotion. The Hall of Famer has shown a different side following retirement, but fans and Triple H always love to see him back home.

Therefore, Hunter could call upon The Phenom again to send shockwaves through the WWE Universe. Rhodes and Roman Reigns will face Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu, but the odds are not in their favor because the Tongan brothers provide an unfair advantage.

Meanwhile, the bell could toll for The Bloodline again at Bad Blood when Taker might return to send the group into the depths of hell.

#2. The Big Red Machine could make an epic comeback

Kane made his iconic debut at Badd Blood 1997 when he interfered in the inaugural Hell in a Cell match between The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels. The Hall of Famer viciously assaulted his storyline brother, allowing HBK to capture the win.

27 years later, CM Punk and Drew McIntyre would step inside the cell to settle the score. Triple H could take the fans on a trip down memory lane by revisiting one of the most iconic debuts in wrestling history.

The Big Red Machine's theme song could hit, sending the WWE Universe into a frenzy. He could march down the ramp, tear down the door, and Chokeslam McIntyre, helping Punk win.

Not only would this create an epic moment, it would continue the narrative of McIntyre getting screwed over by factors beyond his control.

#1. Shane McMahon

Shane McMahon has made the news lately as he was spotted with prominent AEW names, fueling rumors of a potential association with WWE's rival promotion.

However, this could be a ruse, especially if Triple H could convince his brother-in-law to return home. The Prodigal Son could make an astonishing comeback at Bad Blood with a simple goal: to restore pride and prestige to the McMahon family name.

Shane-O-Mac could embark on a pursuit to restore his family's legacy, leading to intriguing angles. He made a one-night return at WrestleMania 39, which ended in a disaster, but it showed that Hunter was willing to use him.
