That said, in this article, we look at five WWE Superstars who could return after Big Cass.
#5. The Rock
The Rock has remained one of WWE’s biggest attractions despite only making occasional appearances over the past few years. Although he has been absent from current storylines, SummerSlam season has often been associated with blockbuster surprises.
Roman Reigns is currently preparing for one of the biggest title defenses of his reign. Thus, if he survives Seth Rollins, the company could immediately introduce another marquee challenger. The Final Boss fits that description better than almost anyone.
A confrontation between The Rock and Roman Reigns doesn’t even need to begin with a match announcement. A simple face-off after SummerSlam would instantly dominate headlines and give the company another massive storyline heading into the remainder of 2026.
With Triple H prioritizing long-term storytelling, The Rock’s return cannot be ruled out.
#4. Kevin Owens
Kevin Owens has been absent from WWE programming for quite some time due to injury. Given this, fans continue to wonder when the former Universal Champion will return.
Owens has always been one of the most versatile performers. Whether working as a babyface or heel, he immediately feels like a legitimate threat to any champion.
There have been reports about KO making his return soon. If that happens, his comeback could place him directly into the Undisputed WWE Championship picture, especially if CM Punk leaves SummerSlam with the title.
Owens has unfinished business with several top stars, including Cody Rhodes and Sami Zayn. Thus, making multiple fresh rivalries possible.
Alternatively, the company could have Kevin Owens return on RAW. Perhaps to remind everyone why he has remained one of the company’s most reliable main-event performers for nearly a decade.
#3. Randy Orton
Few WWE returns generate excitement quite like Randy Orton’s. The Viper has been missing from television since coming up short at WrestleMania 42. However, his name continues to surface whenever fans discuss potential SummerSlam surprises.
Orton already has history with Cody Rhodes, Gunther, CM Punk, and Roman Reigns. That gives the company numerous directions if he returns after Big Cass.
A returning Randy Orton could immediately RKO whichever superstar leaves SummerSlam standing tall. It would instantly establish his intentions while reminding the WWE Universe that one of the company’s greatest competitors is back.
Also, Triple H understands Orton’s value as a veteran capable of elevating virtually any storyline.
#2. Former Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre has become one of WWE’s biggest stars over the past several years. Thus, making every absence feel significant.
The Scottish Warrior possesses the credibility to challenge for the Undisputed WWE Championship immediately upon returning.
Depending on how SummerSlam unfolds, McIntyre could target CM Punk if he retains his title. On the other hand, if Cody Rhodes captures the title, Drew already has enough history with him to restart their rivalry without much explanation.
Also, McIntyre has unfinished business with several members of the upper card. Thus, Triple H would have no shortage of compelling programs waiting for him.
A surprise Drew McIntyre return shortly after Big Cass would instantly strengthen SmackDown’s main-event scene while adding another credible championship contender.
#1. Enzo Amore
If Big Cass is returning, the biggest question immediately is whether Enzo Amore will follow.
The two became one of NXT’s most entertaining acts before successfully transitioning to WWE’s main roster. Their chemistry, charisma, and unforgettable entrance routine made them one of the most popular tag teams of their era.
Recent reports have suggested the company has discussed reuniting the duo, although the Big Cass vignette itself did not mention Enzo by name. That has only fueled speculation that the company may be saving his appearance for an even bigger surprise.
Rather than debuting together, the company could allow Big Cass to return first before teasing his former partner over the following weeks.
An Enzo Amore comeback would instantly recreate one of the most recognizable tag team entrances. Thus, giving fans a heavy dose of nostalgia while injecting fresh life into the tag team division.
Whether they pursue championship gold or simply reignite old rivalries, reuniting Enzo and Big Cass would undoubtedly become one of the most talked-about moments of the year.
With the company embracing surprise returns under Triple H, bringing back the complete duo feels like a realistic possibility if Big Cass’s comeback is well received.
