On the October 17 edition of WWE SmackDown, Ilja Dragunov made his in-ring return.
The Russian-born star had been sidelined since suffering a meniscus tear during a bout with Gunther in September 2024.
That begs the question – which other WWE stars currently on the injured list could be next to make their return?
Here are seven potential upcoming comebacks.
7. Bianca Belair

Bianca Belair has been out of action since WrestleMania 41, where she suffered a significant finger injury during the widely celebrated three-way match for the Women’s World Championship against IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley.
However, Belair recently confirmed that she will “be back soon.”
Questions remain over which brand she’ll appear on when she returns: will she head back to SmackDown to challenge Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women’s Championship, or move to Raw to set up a blockbuster feud with Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer?
Hopefully, we’ll get the answer to that sooner rather than later.
