WWE is looking to bring back numerous stars from the past to pad the rosters for their upcoming brand split. Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that Carlito, MVP and Stevie Richards have all been contacted about returning. Forbes.com reported that some other big names from the past that have been contacted about returning include Bill Goldberg, Kurt Angle, Rey Mysterio, and current TNA star Jeff Hardy.
One former WWE star turned down their offer because he claims he’s making more now working part-time independently than he did full-time in WWE.
According to Meltzer, everyone that’s available is at least being reached out to by WWE in preparation for their brand split. The brand draft is expected to take place on July 11th, with the first live SmackDown airing on Tuesday, July 19th.
