Over the last five years fans have seen a number of former WWE stars appear on AEW programming. Cody Rhodes was one of the key figures who helped launch the company in 2019, but he returned to WWE in 2022. More recently Andrade El Idolo has parted ways with AEW and returned to WWE.
During a recent appearance on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Mike Santana was asked if he was surprised to see Cody return to WWE. Santana noted that he was surprised, and he also indicated that he expects another former WWE star to leave AEW and return to World Wrestling Entertainment.
“Santana: I knew it was coming. I’ll be real there was two people that I said off the bat were gonna go back to WWE. One of them already did.
Chris Van Vliet: And you’re saying there’s another one that may go back?
Santana: Aw, yeah. Yeah, I love having people guessing that’s my favourite thing to do.”
It’s not clear at this point in time exactly who Santana was referring to, but there are still quite a few former WWE stars who are part of the AEW roster at the moment, so it will be interesting to see how things play out in the future.
