The past few weeks have been rough for the WWE roster. Rich Swann suffered some sort of foot injury last week during his segment with Neville on Raw, and Seth Rollins also suffered an injury on Raw during his altercation with Samoa Joe.

Another star who’s been sitting on the sidelines for the past few weeks is none other than former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Tajiri. After making his return to WWE earlier this year, Tajiri suffered a knee injury, but it looks like we could be seeing Tajiri make his return to the ring sooner rather than later.
PWInsider is reporting that Tajiri is backstage for Raw tonight and he has been cleared to return to the ring. It remains to be seen if he will be used, but WWE has been featuring the Cruiserweight division in several different segments throughout the course of Raw as of late, so it’s entirely possible that the Japanese Buzzsaw could be in action tonight.
It’s also being reported that former Global Force Wrestling NEX*GEN Champion Sonjay Dutt worked as a guest trainer at the WWE Performance Center last week and Terry Taylor reportedly pitched the idea of bringing him in.
It was noted that although Dutt is considered to be one of Jeff Jarrett’s key players with GFW, he’s not under contract with the company.
I’m a Tajiri fan. Hope he returns already.
