2 Former WWE superstars set to return to the WWE

[Impact!]

Numerous sources have confirmed that both Jamie Noble and Spanky are heading back to World Wrestling Entertainment. Noble (who has been working as James Gibson on the independent scene) was at WWE headquarters in Stamford, CT yesterday. Neither have been given a start date with the company and it is expected they will be given the opportunity to finish out their independent commitments. Noble and Spanky are being brought back to beef up the Cruiserweight division, so they will be on the Smackdown side. For those wondering why WWE is looking for more Cruisers, I have been told that the Mexicools will be creatively driven towards the tag team division, which opened up a few slots.

In the case of Noble, he was released in a disciplinary move after a staph infection was traced back to steroid use. He told the Interactive Interview show back in June, "They told me to clean my act up, not to go out and bash the company, and to try not to go to TNA if I can afford it and once you clear everything up and we think you're straight, we might give you a second chance." Noble never ended up working for TNA, so it appears the company stayed true to their word. It appears Noble's signing will be a shot to Ring of Honor, which had been figuring him into their main event scene in recent months.

Spanky is said to be getting ready to get married and was also tiring of the physical toll the independent and Japanese scene was taking on his body. He left WWE in January 2004 under good terms after telling management that if they weren't going to use him in a pushed position, he wanted the chance to explore an opportunity to wrestle for ZERO-ONE in Japan. WWE gave him his release, noting that there was an open door for him to return down the line because they were impressed with the way Spanky handled the situation.
