There are a lot of speculation on who will be returning to the WWE to help with the brand split. A lot of names are popping up, and one of them is Booker T.
The WWE Hall of Famer hasn't really left the company; after his last few fights in the ring, he actually stayed on the sideline, literally, doing commentary and getting involved with the company's network for programming. He has been doing this for years now, and there was never any hint that he wanted to get back to the canvass, Inquisitr reported.
However, the dry spell is about to end soon. The current RAW Pre-Show host and five-time WCW Champion will be slamming bodies this August 6 in Pasadena, Texas, but it will be outside of WWE. His own "Reality of Wrestling" promotion, plus Tommy Dreamer's "House of Hardcore," will put up the show and will feature Lance Hoyt vs. Billy Gunn and a Texas Open Challenge by Moose. Fans will also get to see Vickie Guerrero, Carlito, MVP, The Sandman, Tony Nese, Thea Trinidad and several more. This could be the start of his run for WWE.
It was also previously reported that CM Punk may also return to the WWE after leaving in 2014. However, it was also mentioned that he is also busy preparing for his MMA fight with Mickey Gall at the UFC 203.
Fans are also excited to see Randy Orton's big comeback. It was announced that Orton will face Brock Lesnar at WWE SummerSlam.
In related news, Lesnar is currently embroiled in a doping violation against USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency). The government agency administered the test as part of the UFC's anti-doping policy. Lesnar's test was returned July 14 and flagged for the violation after UFC 200, news.com.au reported.
Lesnar hasn't had any problems with the previous USADA drug test, but he tested positive for a banned substance this time around. The athlete has not revealed what has been detected from his sample, but the government agency will also not release information.
"We'll get to the bottom of this," stated Lesnar in a report from the Associated Press.
Fans can expect more WWE return rumors in the weeks to come.
