There are a whole host of WWE stars currently off of television for a variety of reasons, with the Raw roster having some especially glaring absentees.

Thankfully for some of these names currently on the sidelines there are some exciting potential return scenarios on the table in the near future, and we could soon see some of them make their comebacks.

Here are five absent WWE stars to potentially return to Raw soon:

Jacob Fatu

Almost a month has now passed since Jaida Parker ran over Jacob Fatu and joined the 946.

While it has been absolutely necessary for Fatu to remain on the sidelines in order to sell this attack, “The Samoan Werewolf” should be back fairly soon in order to build towards WarGames at Survivor Series 2026.

The assumption would be that Fatu will take up the fifth and final spot on Team Bloodline in that match, but fans continue to speculate that he could still turn on his family in order to join 946.

Nattie

Despite being listed as a member of the WWE Raw roster, Nattie has not wrestled on the red brand since all the way back in March. Instead, “The Lowkey Legend” has spent the majority of her 2026 on NXT.

We have not seen Nattie back at the WWE Performance Center since her feud with Jaida Parker wrapped up at NXT Heatwave almost two months ago, so it feels as if there is a chance Nattie could return to her home brand before too long.

With IYO SKY potentially on the verge of becoming the next Women’s Intercontinental Champion, Nattie would make for an excellent first challenger for the title.

Drew McIntyre

While it doesn’t appear like it will be happening at Crown Jewel 2026, Drew McIntyre is expected to be making his return to WWE fairly soon.

“The Scottish Warrior” has been gone since WrestleMania 42 back in April, with the past six months seeing him busy with Hollywood projects such as ‘Highlander’ and ‘The Last Druid.’

McIntyre is a SmackDown star, but with the blue brand having a little bit too much main event talent on its roster right now, we could see him instead make his return on Raw.

Seth Rollins

Raw’s dearth of main event level male talent has not been helped by the absence of Seth Rollins since SummerSlam back in early August.

“The Visionary” has seemingly been kept on the sidelines for creative reasons, and while that is frustrating for fans of the former World Heavyweight Champion, it is quite difficult to see where he slots into the top storylines on Raw.

While it would be somewhat retreading familiar ground, Rollins could make his return by aligning with The Bloodline inside WarGames in the event Jacob Fatu isn’t back for Survivor Series on November 28.

Naomi

Another potential WarGames participant on Team Bloodline could be former Women’s World Champion Naomi.

The wife of Jimmy Uso has been off TV since August 2025 when she announced her pregnancy, but her name has popped back up in the news lately given what has been going on with 946 and The Bloodline.

Jaida Parker’s addition to Royce Keys’ faction has left The Bloodline in need of a female equalizer, and Naomi is the clear and obvious choice for that spot providing she is fit and able to wrestle.

If she does make a return in time for Survivor Series we could even have the first-ever mixed gender WarGames match on our hands in Houston.
