With Crown Jewel now in the rear view mirror, WWE can look ahead to the November 9 Monday Night Raw and the build towards Survivor Series 2026 on November 28.

With a new PLE cycle beginning, we could potentially also see a number of absent names on the WWE roster make their returns to television.

Here are four WWE stars to potentially return to WWE on the November 9 episode of Raw:

Jacob Fatu

We begin with the most likely return on this list, and that is of course “The Samoan Werewolf” Jacob Fatu, who has been off TV since being run over by Jaida Parker’s car in late September.

Fatu is the missing piece of The Bloodline vs. 946 WarGames puzzle right now, as his family are currently one short of a five man team, unlike 946, who added Cruz Montana to their ranks during last week’s Raw (November 2).

With 946 dominating The Bloodline in the closing moments of last week’s Raw, Fatu could help ensure that the same does not happen on November 9, as he makes his return and lays out the challenge for WarGames at Survivor Series.

Seth Rollins

Far longer than Jacob Fatu’s absence has been Seth Rollins, who hasn’t been seen on WWE TV since losing to Roman Reigns at SummerSlam 2026 Night Two.

WWE are reportedly waiting to bring Rollins back in an impactful manner, however, the longer time goes on, it’s harder to envision what that ideal scenario would even look like given that Rollins has exhausted many of the feuds available to him on Raw.

While it’s not incredibly exciting, WWE did just announce the Team USA vs. Team Mexico five vs. five Survivor Series elimination tag team match, which presents a potential avenue for Rollins to make his return; teaming alongside former rival Cody Rhodes.

Rusev

During WWE’s tour of Hawaii last month, Rusev made his return to in-ring action after three months on the sidelines.

The assumption was that he would follow this up with a return to Raw, however, it has now almost been a month and there has been no sign of “The Bulgarian Brute.”

Thankfully, Rusev’s former tag team partner Ethan Page just won the Intercontinental Championship, something that could instigate Rusev making his comeback as either Page’s ally or a new challenger for his championship.

Stephanie Vaquer

Another recent return we saw during an untelevised event was that of former Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer.

There had been questions regarding Vaquer’s injury status after she was pulled from a scheduled Women’s World Title number one contender’s match on the October 26 episode of Raw, but thankfully it seems as if “La Primera” is back fighting fit once again.

The Chilean star returned to action this past week during WWE’s Road to Survivor Series tour in the United States, competing at both the November 5 live event in Portland and November 6 show in Bangor.

With Liv Morgan now no longer having to deal with Chelsea Green or Tiffany Stratton, it may be time for Vaquer to step up and receive her overdue rematch for the Women’s World Title.
