WWE Raw has seen several new stars join the brand since the start of 2026, but there could also be some returning names coming back to Monday nights soon.

Whether they’re sidelined due to injury or because of a storyline, several talents have not been seen on the red brand in the recent months and weeks.

Over the coming months, there could be more than one of the following stars soon making an impact upon their return to Monday Night Raw.

Here are seven WWE Raw returns potentially coming soon.

7. Sheamus

Sheamus hasn’t wrestled since the November 17, 2025 episode of WWE Raw

Back in November 2025, Sheamus was announced as sidelined following a severe shoulder injury.

In recent weeks, “The Celtic Warrior” has taken to social media to tease his in-ring return with photos of his training in the gym.

For years, Sheamus has been one of the best and most dependable in-ring performers in WWE today.

Sheamus returning could open the door for a few different directions for him on either Raw or SmackDown.

6. Angelo Dawkins

On the May 25 edition of Monday Night Raw, Austin Theory attacked and took out Angelo Dawkins with a steel chair assault.

Dawkins has been out of action over the past few weeks, while his Street Profits tag team partner Montez Ford has formed an alliance with Seth Rollins against The Vision.

While he was recently taken out, fans should not have to wait too long before seeing Dawkins back on WWE TV.

Reuniting with Ford and going back after the World Tag Team Titles, Street Profits could get another opportunity at the gold against The Vision in the near future.

5. Joe Hendry

Another victim of Austin Theory’s steel chair attacks in recent weeks is Joe Hendry.

Following an assault with a steel chair, Hendry has been sidelined to recover from this attack.

While he was just called up to the WWE main roster, the company needs to come up with a plan to present Hendry more consistently upon his return.

Whether it be feuding with The Vision or going after championship gold, WWE has not scratched the surface for what Hendry could do in the company right now.

4. Bronson Reed

Bronson Reed is currently out of action after suffering an injury during an Elimination Chamber qualifier on Raw back in February

Speaking of The Vision, the group has been dealing with different injuries to several members in 2026.

While Logan Paul recently went down with a torn triceps injury, Bronson Reed has been on the shelf following a torn bicep he suffered ahead of WWE Elimination Chamber 2026.

In recent weeks, Reed has been seen on social media in gym selfies teasing his training for an in-ring return.

Reed reuniting with The Vision feels much needed and necessary at this point for the stable moving forward.

3. Asuka

At WWE Backlash 2026, IYO SKY defeated Asuka. Post match, Asuka had a tearful embrace with her former Damage CTRL stablemate.

“The Empress of Tomorrow” was then in the headlines with various rumors going around about Asuka leaving WWE.

After confirming she is still with WWE, fans can get excited about Asuka potentially coming back into the fold sometime down the line.

Asuka returning would be an excellent addition to the WWE women’s division right now and could immediately place her as a top star on either Monday Night Raw or Friday Night SmackDown.

2. Stephanie Vaquer

Liv Morgan dethroned Stephanie Vaquer for WWE Women’s World Title at WrestleMania 42

At WWE WrestleMania 42 Night One, Liv Morgan defeated Stephanie Vaquer to win the WWE Women’s World Championship.

Then on the April 27 edition of WWE Raw, Morgan and The Judgment Day jumped Vaquer. This led to news circulating that “La Primera” will be out of action with an AC joint sprain in her shoulder.

While reports indicated that she would not be out for long, Vaquer has been sidelined for two months already.

Vaquer making her return would immediately make her a threat to Morgan’s WWE Women’s World Championship reign and set the stage for a Mania rematch sooner rather than later.

1. CM Punk

CM Punk teased challenging Cody Rhodes for his Undisputed WWE Title during their meeting on the Raw after WrestleMania 42

At the WWE WrestleMania 42 premium live event, Roman Reigns defeated CM Punk to win the World Heavyweight Championship.

Despite his claim to always staying ready following his loss, fans have not seen Punk on WWE TV since the Raw After WrestleMania 42.

“The Best In The World” making his return feels inevitable as the company moves closer to WWE SummerSlam 2026 in August.

With Raw set to take place in Chicago at the start of July, Punk coming back would be a key return that immediately thrust him right back into the spotlight in a major way.
