Here is a list of the Superstars that returned to action this month.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

#10 The Usos

The sons of Rikishi and the cousins of Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso came to the rescue of Reigns on the January 3rd episode of SmackDown.

Roman Reigns was defenseless and handcuffed to the ropes by Corbin and Ziggler. Before Corbin could embarrass Reigns once again by pouring dog food over him, The Usos music hit and they came to the aid of their cousin.

The Usos cleaned house and were involved in the feud between Reigns and King Corbin that went on the following weeks. The former Tag Team Champions weren't seen after July 2019 due to Jimmy Uso's altercation with the law.

#9 Sheamus

The Celtic Warrior wasn't messing around

After weeks of video vignettes announcing Sheamus' return, The Celtic Warrior finally came back to the WWE ring on an episode of SmackDown.

After defeating Dash Wilder, Shorty G was attacked by Scott Dawson. To everyone's surprise, the lights went out and we saw heard Sheamus' music hit. The former WWE Champion made his way to the ring to, what looked like, make the save for Shorty.

The Revival wanted nothing to do with Sheamus and threw Shorty towards him and exited the ring. In a sudden turn of event, Sheamus turned around and hit G with a Brogue Kick, starting a feud between the duo.

Sheamus was out for almost eight months due to a concussion and was finally cleared to compete. He sported his 2010 look and doesn't look a day older since that time.

#8 Big Show

The Big Show has been the most trusted WWE Superstar by management. He is the most loyal and counted on Superstar. Nobody in the WWE Universe is disappointed when The Big Show makes his return.

On an episode of Raw, when Samoa Joe and Kevin Owens were looking for a third member to even the odds against Rollins and AOP, Show was revealed as the mystery partner. The giant would be seen on the following week's show as well in a fistfight against the same three opponents.

We saw Big Show after over a year since he was written off TV due to an injury. It is fun to watch the giant come back when least expected.

#7 John Morrison

The man who created a buzz around the wrestling world made his way back to the WWE in the latter part of last year. The internet ran wild when it was official that John Morrison would be returning to WWE.

After almost ten long years, Morrison returned to the promotion that kickstarted his career. The first that we saw of him during his second stint in the company was in a backstage segment. He was seen coming out of The Miz's locker room.

Morrison also had his first match against Big E two weeks later and also appeared on a segment of Miz TV. He had quite a poor showing in the Royal Rumble. It is yet to be seen what angle WWE plays with this very talented Superstar.

#6 Robert Roode

The team of Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler seemed unstoppable at a point in time. The duo went on to win the Raw Tag Team Titles before their shift to the Blue Brand. Once they were drafted to SmackDown Live, the two aligned themselves with King Corbin.

Their run was cut short because of Roode's suspension due to a violation of the company's wellness policy. The Glorious one made his return after 30 days on SmackDown Live, siding with Corbin and Ziggler, attacking Reigns and The Usos.

In the following weeks, he was a part of the feud and took on Reigns in a Tables Match which he lost. His run in the Royal Rumble was also forgettable.

#5 Humberto Carillo

The man who made a name for himself from scratch in the WWE, Carillo has been a part of NXT and 205 Live. While his run in these promotions didn't do much for him, his draft to Raw put him on the wrestling map and the fans began noticing him.

Carillo was missing in action because of Andrade hit him with a DDT on the concrete floor. This sidelined him and he was unable to compete. Almost a month later, Carillo returned and attacked Andrade challenging him in a losing effort for the US Title.

#4 Kane

Kane has done it all in the WWE Universe. He is even the Mayor of Knox City. He returned to WWE to build the Daniel Bryan and The Fiend feud.

It looked like Kane would fall victim to The Fiend once again but he smartly left the ring when the lights went off. When the lights came back on, Bryan attacked Wyatt from behind but Wyatt escaped.

Last we saw Kane, he had won and lost the 24x7 Title the same night and was even attacked by The Fiend. Whenever we see The Big Red Machine return, we know that all hell's going to break loose.

#3 Naomi

This year's Royal Rumble saw many Superstars returning to the WWE ring. One such Superstar was Naomi. After a six month hiatus, Naomi returned as the 18th Superstar in the Women's Royal Rumble.

She gave us a very memorable spot when she was almost eliminated. She jumped from the stairs to the barricade and tip-toed her way to the table and made her way back to the ring.

She was away from the WWE due to personal reasons. Here's hoping that all's fine with her and we see more of her in the days to come.

#2 MVP

When Brock Lesnar was done laying waste to ten other Superstars in the Royal Rumble, he waited for the next entrant. To everyone's surprise, MVP made his way to the ring.

Although he didn't last long in the Rumble, it was great seeing him in action in a WWE ring after eleven years. MVP was last seen on WWE TV on the 25th-anniversary episode of Raw playing poker backstage with other Superstars.

This week, MVP took on Mysterio in a singles contest and lost. MVP does look a little out of touch but that's just ring rust. Nothing more time in the ring can't solve.

#1 Edge

Easily the most awaited and talked about return. Edge's return was met by a huge pop and even moved fans to tears. It has been a dream for avid WWE fans to watch Edge return in action.

Edge entered as the 21st Superstar in the Royal Rumble this year and oh boy did the crowd go wild. What made his return even more epic was him sweeping the ring clean with Spears to everyone in sight.

It looked like Edge continued where he had left off almost ten years ago. He lasted 23 minutes and didn't look like he missed a beat. This past week, a feud between him and Randy Orton was built and it's likely the two will lock horns in Saudi Arabia.

Whose return was your favorite? Let us know in the comments below!
