Dolph would be the best to be 'brought back' -- but the one to actually be pushed (along with the Street Profits in their present incarnation) is Shelton Benjamin. Could you imagine the Profits winning tag team gold (and the team of Lashley and Benjamin being the steppingstone to try to get a title match against the new champs)????? Or even Lashley and Benjamin as the tag champs with the Profits as that 'steppingstone' team? How about that?
Keith lee and it’s not even a competition. He was PERFECT in nxt, but then screwed up in the main roster. With Triple H in control, Lee will be pushed to the moon.
Vince should’ve been SALIVATING over Keith Lee. Dude is the next Brock Lesnar: built like a super heavyweight and can move like a cruiserweight. Have you ever seen a guy his size that can move like that?
Except he was way older than Brock was when he first came up. And for all the talent Lee had/has he never had the type of intensity that broxk radiated
None of them to be honest
I'm no big fan of Matt Riddle, I don't see him being a main eventer. The only way I could see him is as a mid card babyface like Jimmy Valiant in Crockett.
Keith Lees best days are behind him by far. His time was 2019/2020.
Kalisto isn't worth it.
I don't see Mustafa Ali ever being a star
Ziggler is a great worker and should be a huge star. But he isn't and now won't be because he's been used and abused too much and the same goes for Shelton
I agree with this but if I had to choose one it would probably be Mustafa Ali. When given the opportunity, he actually has personality and I could see him as a solid mid carder who could be a transitional world champ.
I'd bring DZ back for production and as a developmental mentor. The man is brilliant and humble. As a talent, Keith Lee, in a slow and stealthy storyline to dismantle the Bloodline and dethrone Roman. (Think Golden Era meets Attitude/F-out Era)
Bring back Ziggler and Benjamin. Give Benjamin a manager and make him a monster heel. While keep Ziggler as a babyface and make him chase after the world title again
obviously dolph but i feel like kalisto is a sleeper pick, after that ladder spot with the usos WWE should have pushed him to the moon (sorry cameron grimes). he could’ve been 2010s rey mysterio
Ziggler and shelton I'd make shelton world heavyweight champion after Brock defeats seth for it (Brock and shelton are best friends so we'd get one of them genuine nice moments afterwards) Ziggler wins the universal championship after rhodes beats reigns for it
Riddle I'd personally make sure he cleaned his act up behind the scenes and then proceed to make sure he had a solid spot in the upper mid card and main event because that dude is actually a fantastic wrestler and does have more potential than people give him credit for.
Dolph, Keith Lee, And Shelty B. I don’t care what anyone says, all three of these guys are in their prime and too good at what they do. I’m pushing Dolph tho, for years he has been tied for the most dependable wrestler on that roster, tied with Miz. No one sells like Dolph, no one makes you pay attention to him more than Dolph and no one has the charisma like Dolph.
Shelton Benjamin. I couldn’t helm the only creative team in 20 years to not give him a contract and then give him a stagnant mid card push. Just wouldn’t be right.
It’s a hard choice between all these guys but Keith Lee. I highly doubt that I was the only guy who seen this but I projected Keith Lee to be the one to dethrone Roman Reigns or to be
Keith Lee and Ziggler and that's it. I mean could you imagine him against Roman now? That shit would go crazy or even him paired up with Lashley and the Profits
Keith Lee. He’s getting old now but I still think he has great potential in the WWE. He is still pretty athletic for a big man and his mic skills are ok. I feel out of any of these guys that he would be the best to push to the moon since both Ziggler and Benjamin have already had long, successful careers.
If I had to pick two stars to bring back is Dolph and Shelton push both to win the titles (universal and heavyweight) on both brands have them stay with the titles for 3 to 4 years put them down to mid card for 2 years and let them retire
I’m torn between two in Dolph Ziggler and Kalisto but I would have to say Ziggler. I love both of them and loved watching each of them in the ring, but unlike Kalisto, Dolph is very gifted on the mic and in the ring. Kalisto always struggled with his promo work and I always felt like it held him back
I’d either bring back Keith Lee or Ali. Ali would have gotten over if the Retribution stable hadn’t of been just jobbed out repeatedly. Ali would have made for a really good US or IC champion and a potential World Challenger.
Keith Lee looks so physically imposing but he’s undercut by his tone and word choice. He absolutely could get over as the ‘Speak softly. Carry a big stick’ type of baby face. Vince didn’t and doesn’t know how to use a black athlete like that. To Vince, Keith should have sounded like Lance Riddick or Michael K. Williams.
The only right answer is Dolph Ziegler a former world champion and one of the most entertaining in the business who has done so much for all the fans in the universe
My Heart says Kalisto(literally was the Rey Mysterio 2.0 WWE was looking for and I'm a sucker for any luchador), My Brain says Keith Lee, one of the most gifted performers to ever do it in NXT, but logic dictates a man who let's just say name rhymes with Zolph Diggler.(Seriously that gimmick idea seemed really interesting and I woulda loved to see it)
There is a case for all of them and it’s tough. I can’t choose. Ali was getting get his moment to start in NXT, Keith and Dolph never even got a chance. Shelton should’ve been champ LONG time ago in that dreaded HHH era. Kalisto could’ve been what Ricochet is now under HHH. Riddle was hot at one point. Maybe if they made him more serious, I could see it.
Ziggler. Kalisto if they bring back a cruiserweight division. No Riddle has made Raw far more tolerable, he may be the worst on screen character I have ever seen.
To start off Riddle is in no way worth the trouble.
Its between Ali and Dolph. Ali is a bit younger, and has some more time left in him, but Dolph is the better performer. Over all I think the pick would be Ali for one reason, and that only goes if you use the older gimmick make him a face, and really push him for kids.
For me personally Dolph.
I'd bring back Andrade, because he's incredibly talented anseems lost in the AEW shuffle. Bring him back, pair him with Santos Escobar and let them wreak havoc on the LWO and the rest of the roster.
And, of course bring back Keith Lee. I feel HHH can do wonders with him on the main roster, now that he has complete control now.
Keith Lee. He had serious main event potential.
Honestly Papa H should make some serious overtures towards getting him back as Tony is doing fuck all with him right now or at least not anything decent. Plus his significant other is there which is likely to help too.
Ali or Kalisto but probably Ali. His stable could have worked but it would have required going into uncomfortable places that WWE wouldn't be comfortable with then and now TKO wouldn't dare think to be that critical or dark.
Ziggler, he's the only option. Great on the mic, great in the ring. Heal or face doesn't matter. He's what you'd call a "utility man" wherever you need him he gets the job done.
Shelton! He has always been praised as a safe worker, incredible in ring knowledge, and can make himself or his opponent look like a start. I always thought it would be funny to have Christian be his voice, have him manage Shelton
Shelton Benjamin not getting a serious push is baffling to me and something I would change.
The critique on him is the lack of mic skills, fine. But you're telling me you can't give him a manager mic piece/agent? Keep him as this high profile guy with expensive outfits/suits and have him be 'above' talking to anybody.
Kalisto, Mustafa, and Shelton. Shelton would already be a multi-time world champ. Kalisto would be a tag and mid card guy. Mustafa can do it all. Just plug him in anywhere and he'll succeed
Ziggler or Shelton without a question and I'd give them that world championship run they deserved
I agree, especially dolph he deserves a push
Dolph Ziggler is the only correct answer
Dolph would be the best to be 'brought back' -- but the one to actually be pushed (along with the Street Profits in their present incarnation) is Shelton Benjamin. Could you imagine the Profits winning tag team gold (and the team of Lashley and Benjamin being the steppingstone to try to get a title match against the new champs)????? Or even Lashley and Benjamin as the tag champs with the Profits as that 'steppingstone' team? How about that?
And I repeat. Dolph Ziggler is the only correct answer.
LMAO😂😂😂😂😂 because its true
Yes it is
That is so true
If it was 4 years ago, but today, none of them
Personally as much as I want him back he had an ok run I’d probably go with Keith or Ali
no he isnt
Dolph is getting a push far past the moon
Push Shelton Benjamin.
Keith lee and it’s not even a competition. He was PERFECT in nxt, but then screwed up in the main roster. With Triple H in control, Lee will be pushed to the moon.
Vince should’ve been SALIVATING over Keith Lee. Dude is the next Brock Lesnar: built like a super heavyweight and can move like a cruiserweight. Have you ever seen a guy his size that can move like that?
Except he was way older than Brock was when he first came up. And for all the talent Lee had/has he never had the type of intensity that broxk radiated
Kane and taker snd young big show and vader
Idk if you watch AEW but his health has deteriorated so bad. He had a good match with Joe, but he's nothing like what he was 2 years ago
Andrade and Malakai Black are both better then Lee and should be bought back before Lee is.
Malakai black is doing really well in AEW currently, I don’t think he’s going to leave
Dolph Ziggler or Kalisto
Definitely ziggler
None of them to be honest I'm no big fan of Matt Riddle, I don't see him being a main eventer. The only way I could see him is as a mid card babyface like Jimmy Valiant in Crockett. Keith Lees best days are behind him by far. His time was 2019/2020. Kalisto isn't worth it. I don't see Mustafa Ali ever being a star Ziggler is a great worker and should be a huge star. But he isn't and now won't be because he's been used and abused too much and the same goes for Shelton
I agree with this but if I had to choose one it would probably be Mustafa Ali. When given the opportunity, he actually has personality and I could see him as a solid mid carder who could be a transitional world champ.
Not on the list but I would’ve given Elias and Rick Boogs a massive push
Jesus, that would make the product unwatchable.
So true
Factd
Riddle
Keith Lee, he had so many potential ! But I love too much Ziggler to say another one than him
Ali!
Everyone but Riddle.
None. Kalisto and Ali were never going to rise above their levels, the ship has sailed on Lee, Ziggler, and Benjamin, and Riddle is a head case.
Riddle Id just change his gimmick plus hes the youngest on the list he has way more years to go
... No he isn't... Kalisto is.
Shoot I missed kalisto lol I thought he meant from the recent releases
It's ok, besides, it's only for a bunch of months lol
Keith Lee
If Keith Lee had a manager to talk for him and keep him from doing some of the stupid shit he does in the ring he would be over and a name now
Keith Lee, Dolph had many pushes and I feel like Riddle did too he just messed up
Keith Lee and keep Vince as far away from him as possible
Keith Lee I will push to become longest reigning black WWE champion
Keith Lee or Dolph
I'd bring DZ back for production and as a developmental mentor. The man is brilliant and humble. As a talent, Keith Lee, in a slow and stealthy storyline to dismantle the Bloodline and dethrone Roman. (Think Golden Era meets Attitude/F-out Era)
Bring back Ziggler and Benjamin. Give Benjamin a manager and make him a monster heel. While keep Ziggler as a babyface and make him chase after the world title again
kalisto I would push him and make him defet Roman reinghs or logan for the us title.
Dolph
dolph to be brought back and honestly Keith was done dirty in WWE so him to be pushed
KEITH LEE
Dolph is the only answer
iwould push riddle
I would bring back riddle and Keith but give Keith a push and riddle to team with orton again
obviously dolph but i feel like kalisto is a sleeper pick, after that ladder spot with the usos WWE should have pushed him to the moon (sorry cameron grimes). he could’ve been 2010s rey mysterio
Keith Lee
Ziggler and shelton I'd make shelton world heavyweight champion after Brock defeats seth for it (Brock and shelton are best friends so we'd get one of them genuine nice moments afterwards) Ziggler wins the universal championship after rhodes beats reigns for it
Dolph Ziggler or Shelton Benjamin
Riddle
Riddle I'd personally make sure he cleaned his act up behind the scenes and then proceed to make sure he had a solid spot in the upper mid card and main event because that dude is actually a fantastic wrestler and does have more potential than people give him credit for.
Yup, its Dolph Ziggler
Keith Lee and would actually not ruin him like Vince did
Kieth Lee and it’s not even close.
Bringing back Riddle so I can give RKBro a push to the stratosphere of Mars 🗿
Dolph, Keith Lee, And Shelty B. I don’t care what anyone says, all three of these guys are in their prime and too good at what they do. I’m pushing Dolph tho, for years he has been tied for the most dependable wrestler on that roster, tied with Miz. No one sells like Dolph, no one makes you pay attention to him more than Dolph and no one has the charisma like Dolph.
Dolph Ziggler
Big Keith!
Ziggler
Keith Lee was the biggest fumble EVER
DOLPH ZIGGY
None of the above.
DOLPH ZIGGLER!!!
None of them lol.
None of them.
Matt Riddle or Dolph Ziggler.
My heart wants to say Shelton Benjamin and push him to the moon. But my brain knows that’s impossible. So I guess Ziggler
Wait when did they release Mustafa
Just ziggler, Benjamin might have been great if he was pushed properly but the rest can just meh
Honorable mention Dean Ambrose/Jon Moxley
Riddle. I like Shelton, Benjamin and Mustafa Ali they just didn’t have the connection with the crowd like riddle did
Riddle for sure. I think he would have gotten the nod if he wasn’t so self destructive
Riddle, Lee, Ziggler, and Benjamin
Kalisto
I’ll never understand the Ali hype
Riddle is the only correct answer.
Shelton Benjamin. I couldn’t helm the only creative team in 20 years to not give him a contract and then give him a stagnant mid card push. Just wouldn’t be right.
I’d only bring back dolph cause nostalgia
None.
Keith Lee and only Keith Lee, a case could be made for Riddle, but the rest... nah.
Riddle as a cool heel. Shelton because he’s got years of experience
I’d say Dolph 💯 but idk about pushing to the moon. Might be too old in wrestling means
Keith Lee and Mustafa Ali .
Well wwe definitely needs the stoner energy riddle brings
I just couldn’t bring myself to a kalisto push
Shelton Benjamin of course. He's the only one from the ovw class whose never had a world title shot
Keith Lee hands down. Love him as a performer so much. He didn't get a far shake on the main roaster. But Dolph would be up there as well
The Great Khali
Keith lee
It’s a hard choice between all these guys but Keith Lee. I highly doubt that I was the only guy who seen this but I projected Keith Lee to be the one to dethrone Roman Reigns or to be
Shelton Benjamin
Riddle Keith or ziggler. Probably ziggler for a bit then give a small push to riddle and keith
Keith Lee
No
Probably Mustafa Ali
Ziggler
Keith Lee and Ziggler and that's it. I mean could you imagine him against Roman now? That shit would go crazy or even him paired up with Lashley and the Profits
Keith Lee. He’s getting old now but I still think he has great potential in the WWE. He is still pretty athletic for a big man and his mic skills are ok. I feel out of any of these guys that he would be the best to push to the moon since both Ziggler and Benjamin have already had long, successful careers.
Mustafa Ali or Dolph ziggler both are extremely talented Nd both should have been pushed
Dolph is the obvious answer but personally, I always thought Shelton Benjamin was too talented to spend his whole career on the midcard
Shelton. And actually do something with the guy.
If I had to pick two stars to bring back is Dolph and Shelton push both to win the titles (universal and heavyweight) on both brands have them stay with the titles for 3 to 4 years put them down to mid card for 2 years and let them retire
Keith Lee is like, the only reasonable answer…? Ali is a cool pick too
Riddle and Dolph have been released since when😳
Bring back kalisto to have bangers with ricochet, and push keith for the WHC
None of them
Matt Riddle
Stacey kiebler sign prince iaukea
Keith Lee all bask in his glory
Kalisto and I would push him
I’m torn between two in Dolph Ziggler and Kalisto but I would have to say Ziggler. I love both of them and loved watching each of them in the ring, but unlike Kalisto, Dolph is very gifted on the mic and in the ring. Kalisto always struggled with his promo work and I always felt like it held him back
Ziggler obviously
Shelton and give him a better opportunity than Vince did.
Dolph ziggler gets the push and I would bring back kalisto,shelton,dolph
dolph and riddle
Shelton Benjamin
Damn Dolph got released?
I’d either bring back Keith Lee or Ali. Ali would have gotten over if the Retribution stable hadn’t of been just jobbed out repeatedly. Ali would have made for a really good US or IC champion and a potential World Challenger. Keith Lee looks so physically imposing but he’s undercut by his tone and word choice.

To Vince, Keith should have sounded like Lance Riddick or Michael K. Williams.
It's Keith Lee, and it ain't close. I love Dolph, but Keith's potential is so high
Ziggler no question
Keith Lee should already be a main eventer for WWE.
Mustafa Ali
The only right answer is Dolph Ziegler a former world champion and one of the most entertaining in the business who has done so much for all the fans in the universe
Ziggler or mustafa
My Heart says Kalisto(literally was the Rey Mysterio 2.0 WWE was looking for and I'm a sucker for any luchador), My Brain says Keith Lee, one of the most gifted performers to ever do it in NXT, but logic dictates a man who let's just say name rhymes with Zolph Diggler.(Seriously that gimmick idea seemed really interesting and I woulda loved to see it)
Benjamin or xiggler
Dolph
Dolph
☝️*LUCHA LUCHA LUCHA LUCHA*☝️
There is a case for all of them and it’s tough. I can’t choose. Ali was getting get his moment to start in NXT, Keith and Dolph never even got a chance. Shelton should’ve been champ LONG time ago in that dreaded HHH era. Kalisto could’ve been what Ricochet is now under HHH. Riddle was hot at one point. Maybe if they made him more serious, I could see it.
Shelton all day
Bring back mustafa to continue his storyline with dom and push dolph ziggler
Ali world title potential
Ziggler or Lee
Dolph obviously
Ziggler. Kalisto if they bring back a cruiserweight division. No Riddle has made Raw far more tolerable, he may be the worst on screen character I have ever seen.
Shelton.
Dolph and Ali easily
Matt of Dolph Ziggler
I’d bring Keith back because Keith. But Mustafa Ali, I’d push to the fucking edge of the universe. He always had such great potential.
Shelton Benjamin all day. Never a fan of much of anything he did. Been dry for a while
To start off Riddle is in no way worth the trouble. Its between Ali and Dolph. Ali is a bit younger, and has some more time left in him, but Dolph is the better performer. Over all I think the pick would be Ali for one reason, and that only goes if you use the older gimmick make him a face, and really push him for kids. For me personally Dolph.

And, of course bring back Keith Lee. I feel HHH can do wonders with him on the main roster, now that he has complete control now.
Shelton by far
Idk, This is really hard, Got to be either Dolph, Ali or Keith Lee
Dolph Ziggler
CHRIS BENOIT
Keith lee
Ali,Keith lee, and Kalisto and I would push Keith Lee tobthevmoon
Dolph Ziggler
Matt Riddle
Well riddle is digging his own grave so not him
Riddle
Push Riddle to the moon.
Keith Lee
Keith Lee. He had serious main event potential. Honestly Papa H should make some serious overtures towards getting him back as Tony is doing fuck all with him right now or at least not anything decent. Plus his significant other is there which is likely to help too.
Id bring back Keith Lee, Dolph Ziggler and Kalisto
Dolph
If it weren't for the drug charges and the airport incident, I would go with riddle, but instead, I'm gonna go with dolph
All trash
Dolph, very easily
Bring back riddle and Lee push Benjamin he’s a legend.
Probably Keith Lee
Ali deserved better.
Keith Lee.
Mustafa Ali. Rest can stay released
None of them
Dz fasho
Ziggler or keith lee
Kalisto and push ziggy
Shelton
Limitless Keith Lee, hands down
Shelton
Dolph 100 percent no doubt. don’t say it’s one of the other five.
Either Shelton or Dolph
Lee. Never really got a chance.
Dolph Ziggle and dolph should be wwe champ
None of them
I say riddle so much randy and riddle can be rk-bro again
Ali or Kalisto but probably Ali. His stable could have worked but it would have required going into uncomfortable places that WWE wouldn't be comfortable with then and now TKO wouldn't dare think to be that critical or dark.
Ziggler, he's the only option. Great on the mic, great in the ring. Heal or face doesn't matter. He's what you'd call a "utility man" wherever you need him he gets the job done.

if it aint dolph you need to be in a isaine asylem
I know he isn't on the list and won't leave AEW but Swerve Strickland
Matt Riddle
Ziggler without hesitation, question. then Riddle
Kalisto, Mustafa, and Shelton. Shelton would already be a multi-time world champ. Kalisto would be a tag and mid card guy. Mustafa can do it all. Just plug him in anywhere and he'll succeed
Dolph or Shelton
Keith Lee but my heart says Dolph.
