Would be a shame if he didn't return because he got injured, but he really isn't needed at the moment like he was needed when the initial brand split happened.
Guys have been called up from NXT, new stars have emerged, and the rosters have more depth than they did when the draft first happened.

Maybe getting his shoulder/body back into shape to return? Knock off some ring rust, so when he does come back he will be 100%.

TBH it would be better for him if he didn't return because he was never a big star in the WWE and would most likely be used as a jobber.

They already have Hawkins and Jinder, so not much point in bringing Shelton back.

If I had to guess, WWE is probably waiting to see how he feels after a few matches. If he feels good in another month, I could see them giving him another look.

Last I heard, WWE rescinded their offer following his injury. Not sure if that still stands.

He fills more of the Rhino role than the Jinder role imo but I'm not interested in seeing him return either way. I think the WGTT returning is something Smackdown could probably use. Maybe build something up between them and AA.
Smackdown has AJ Styles chasing the US Title and Shelton was never World Title material. Not a lot of room for a guy like him on the current SD roster as a single imo.

I'm sure they'll give him another look, but he's really not needed at the moment. Not sure I would put a talent like him in NXT.

Maybe they're holding off until Money In The Bank? That was always his match to run/jump off a ladder in a kickass way.

I never thought of him as a possible NXT guy, but the idea intrigues me.

I could see him fitting into the midcard on SD. Bring him in as a face and he can work with guys like Ziggler, Corbin, and Rusev while Styles, KO, Orton, Nakamura, and eventually Cena occupy the main event.

I never thought of him as a possible NXT guy, but the idea intrigues me. Depends what they want him for. If they think he might be worth doing something with, an NXT run testing him near the top of the card would work. If they don't see him being a player (and considering he didn't really impress anywhere outside WWE, why would they), then they would be fine to just stick him in the lower midcard or a second-tier tag team on the main shows. |
