WWE Rumors: DDP Possibly the Next Legend to Return to Raw

It's become a consistent reason of excitement to tune in to Monday Night Raw each week as WWE gets closer to the historic 1,000th episode of Raw.

What legend will come back and have a match?

We've seen Vader, Sycho Sid and now it looks like we could be seeing Diamond Dallas Page.

"I just talked to DDP and he said that he was on his way to Texas but wouldn't say why.."

Raw tonight is coming from Laredo, Texas. DDP was last seen in a WWE ring in 2002 when he finished up his short-lived career in WWE after WCW was bought out.

I was with DDP this past March during WrestleMania weekend, as he was involved with our annual “Party with Kevin Nash” WrestleMania party. DDP was determined to tell everybody who was standing up about his new his DDP Yoga workout. All 6'5" of him standing in front of you, extending his right leg straight up with his foot above his head. A far cry from the WCW memories I had of him coming to the ring with Karl Malone to take down the New World Order.

An eccentric personality, but a good guy who means well. If there is one thing I've taken away of Diamond Dallas Page, it's that he knows how to promote something. He can promote yoga and he can promote himself.

In his late 30s, he was a new name and face when he began climbing the ranks of WCW as an active wrestler during a time of established names coming from WWE to WCW. Much of this success I attribute to him knowing how and who to promote himself to.

We would assume he will have a match against Heath Slater tonight based on previous weeks. It will be a four-minute match, end with a Diamond Cutter and then I'm sure there will be petitions started on the DDP Twitter and Facebook pages for an in-ring return.

WWE has a lot of talent and youth on their roster. I don't think DDP occupying a spot would be positive. However, with guys such as Chris Jericho and others complimenting DDP's yoga program helping them stay physically ready for in-ring action, perhaps DDP can promote himself to get on the WWE payroll in the interest of WWE Superstars' health.

Will DDP be a part of WWE's future? Only time will tell. I can guarantee that tonight around 10:30 p.m. ET, DDP will be trending worldwide on Twitter and WWE will remind us of that.
