The Undertaker Returns on RAW: Who Else Will Make a Comeback?

The Undertaker made his return to the WWE this past Monday on RAW after almost a full year away from all things wrestling. 

The Undertaker, who apparently has been in contact with Shawn Michaels' hair plug guy, agelessly sauntered into the ring as Triple H teased the firing of John Laurinaitis. 

Taker's return marks the beginning of a mini-WrestleMania tradition of big names returning to the ring in some capacity, as the WWE gears up for its biggest event of the year. 

Expect the hits to keep on coming, but from where, you ask?  Good question.

1. Shawn Michaels

"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker will forever be linked through their classic pair of tilts at WrestleManias XXV and XXVI. 

It is all but a foregone conclusion that Triple H and The Undertaker will face off for a third time in WrestleMania history, and to spice up this year's matchup, a major stipulation is expected to be put in place. 

Michaels as a special guest referee, with Triple H's career possibly on the line, will sure throw a monkey wrench into things, thus keeping the continuation of The Undertaker's streak from being a 100 percent guarantee. 

2. A McMahon...or Two

You know how in horror movies, when the protagonist walks into a room, and the room is a bit too quiet for its own good?  Then, in a mix of predictability and shock, the big, bad villain jumps through the plate-glass window and attacks the protagonist? 

That's what it feels like in the WWE right now with not a single McMahon in sight for months.  As we close in on WrestleMania season, expect either Vince or Stephanie to get involved in the WWE storylines somehow. 

After all, this can't be the biggest WrestleMania in history without a McMahon's paws all over it—or at least, that's what Vince thinks. 

Besides, you're dreaming if you think Stephanie McMahon wouldn't like a bloated viewing audience to check out her new and improved ripped physique. 

3. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin

When WrestleMania season comes around, more times than not "Stone Cold" Steve Austin isn't too far behind. 

Next year's WrestleMania should see Austin return to the ring, but for now, Austin is the odds-on favorite to induct "Iron" Mike Tyson into the "celebrity wing" of the WWE Hall of Fame. 

4. The Rock

Straight from the department of obviousness, The Rock's return is as certain as a tax return. 

Rocky is said to be all-in as far as promoting WrestleMania and is already advertised for RAW on February 27th, March 5th, March 12th and March 26th. 

Get ready. 

5. Kharma

Kharma made her in-ring return this past Sunday at the Royal Rumble, but some are questioning whether or not the appearance was a one-off before Kharma goes back into solitude to spend time with her newborn baby. 

This is likely not the case, as it has been reported that Kharma has been getting in ring shape since having her baby on December 31st, and even a temporary return could net her a healthy WrestleMania payday on a pay-per-view expected to break box office records. 

While Kharma has displayed a history of highly questionable judgment, even she should realize the lucrative opportunities that lie ahead should she participate in a much-anticipated feud with Beth Phoenix. 

6. Chris Jericho's Return to TV Wrestling

Chris Jericho has already returned, but his in-ring action has been limited.  Expect that to change over the next few months leading up to WrestleMania, as Jericho should wrestle a handful of full-length TV matches for the first time in over a year. 

Jericho recently attacked CM Punk, effectively turning heel, although he'll probably still be cheered. 

As this new character of his continues to develop, he'll definitely continue to work matches in order to find a groove in the ring prior to what should be an excellent match against Punk. 

7. Edge

Edge is going into the WWE Hall of Fame this year, and while an in-ring return is out of the question, Edge should resurface somewhere on WWE TV leading up to his Hall of Fame induction. 

Hopefully, he'll even be medically cleared to throw in a Spear for good measure. 

8. Jim Ross

This is nothing more than a wish, as it is quite depressing that the biggest match in WWE history will be called by Michael Cole. 

When asked what the chances were of Jim Ross returning to the booth for the Cena/Rock mega match, Ross—who was the VP of talent relations during the career rises of both Cena and Rock—responded via Twitter, "That'd be a miracle."

Jim Ross didn't have to respond to the popular inquiry, but the fact that he did implies he wanted to publicize the fan desire for him to call WrestleMania XXVIII. 

Believe me when I say that Jim Ross wants the WWE brass to take notice of the fact that fans want him to return to the booth come WrestleMania XXVIII.  Unfortunately, such a blessing would indeed be nothing short of a miracle.
