According to Forbes, WWE have reached out to:
Carlito
Goldberg
Jeff Hardy
John Morrison
JTG
Kurt Angle
Rey Mysterio
Shad Gaspard
Shelton Benjamin
Carlito makes a lot of sense to come back because he badly needs to teach his relatives how to have a personality.
Goldberg would be a shocker if he returned. Yes he's working with 2k on the next video game but it's tough to imagine that he'll want to return full-time at nearly 50. If he does come back it's to put over Reigns at one PPV and then go into the HOF next year.
Jeff Hardy has said publicly that he'd like one last WWE run before he retires, and he'd fit the bill of being a guy that is genuinely really over to help boost interest in one of the shows. If he can get out of his TNA deal WWE would definitely take him back.
John Morrison makes sense for the company to bring back but selfishly I actually hope he doesn't agree to return. I absolutely love what he's done on Lucha Underground.
Cryme Tyme having a third run with the company would be a mild surprise given the comments some of them have made after leaving. But with two brands and possibly two different tag divisions I get why they'd need another established team to flesh it out.
Kurt Angle getting one last WWE run has been something most of us have wanted but with him I'm almost uncomfortable watching him wrestle anymore because I feel like he can shatter into a million pieces at a moment's notice. By all means though they should bring him back in some capacity because he would be great in whatever they use him for.
Rey Mysterio - meh. The guy's knees are unfortunately held together by bubble gum at this point. Like Jeff Hardy it makes sense to bring him back for name value but I'd have little faith in him staying healthy. He could put over Kalisto eventually.
Shelton Benjamin is amazing in the ring still so I'd happily welcome him back even though I've been enjoying his work in Japan. Charlie Haas is retired I think but a one-off World's Greatest Tag Team vs. American Alpha match would be fantastic.
