The talent that Vince McMahon’s administration discharged is still being brought in by Triple H. Emma had her first bout in over 5 years last night on WWE Friday Night SmackDown, and according to Fightful Select, the organization is interested in bringing back “many” women. Tegan Nox is one of the names being mentioned (Nixon Newell).

Nox was one of several individuals dismissed last year as a result of “budget cutbacks.” Nox was promoted to the main roster in the summer of 2021 and performed a few matches on SmackDown before being released off a few months later. She hasn’t competed on any independent shows since leaving WWE. Fightful was told that visa concerns were slowing things down for her.

On SmackDown and during live events, Nox worked alongside stars like Shotzi, Aliyah, Liv Morgan, and Naomi in her last months with the organization. She was regarded as one of the better in-ring performers in NXT, so WWE’s interest in bringing her back makes sense.

Triple H is also open to CM Punk returning to the WWE

Never say never is a wrestling cliche that would be perfectly embodied by Triple H welcoming CM Punk back to the WWE Universe. Speculation has been widespread as to whether or not CM Punk will rejoin WWE if released from his AEW contract in light of news that AEW and CM Punk may be in discussions regarding a contract buyout resulting from the backstage altercation during All Out.

The new Triple H regime in charge would be open to “anything within reason” given the appropriate money, creativity, and circumstance, according to insiders in WWE speaking on the record to Fightful Select. “Triple H wants to be a success and make compelling programming more than anything,” per the report. “CM Punk back in WWE is compelling programming, but I can’t see it being a full-time deal like what he has in AEW, because of exactly what happened in AEW. That’s even if he has interest. If he gets a buyout, he may not need to work again.”
